Nelson Animal Shelter January 2010 DIRECT MAILING GOES TO POST OFFICE ON DECEMBER 7 The culmination of 3 months work, by 13 volunteers, ended on December 7, when just under 13,000 pieces of mail were taken to the post office. Every December CWNAS produces a bulk mailing which is mailed to every address in Juneau County. County residents who receive the mailing may not realize just how much effort goes into getting the mailing into their mailbox. The whole process starts in early September when the tri-fold brochure that is included in the mailing, is designed and then reviewed by the board at the September meeting. In October the envelopes, labels, and paper are ordered and an address file containing all of Juneau County’s current addresses is purchased. When the envelopes and paper are received, they are taken to the printer where they are turned into 13,000 self-addressed return envelopes, 13,000 # 10 envelopes, and 13,000 donation inserts. The board also reviews and approves the final tri-fold brochure at the October meeting and 13,000 colored tri-fold brochures are ordered from the printer. Labels are printed from the purchased address file. After the materials are printed, volunteers pick them up from the printers and deliver them to the shelter house for distribution to more volunteers for stuffing. A visit to the post office to pick up 40 mailing trays and 40 tray covers and the appropriate postal paper work is next. Two volunteers then divide the materials and postal trays, and they are given to more volunteers who take them home to stuff, seal, label, and count the envelopes. After volunteers stuff, count, label, and place the envelopes into the postal trays, a process that takes about 2 weeks, they are delivered back to the shelter house where a volunteer sorts the trays by zip code and fills out the paper work for the post office. Finally, all 13,000 pieces are loaded up and driven to the post office for mailing. CWNAS depends on the annual direct mailing to bring in much needed revenue to support its mission to help homeless animals and to provide spay and neutering and educational services to Juneau County. Volunteers assisting with this year’s direct mailing were: Jane Hamilton, Mary Jo Coleman, Jan Brendle, Jan Mc Donald, Terry Dalla Valle, Lorrie Dewar, Karen DiCarlo, Chery Zufahl, Deb Clark, Ruby Donovan, Pat and Stan Macheichok, Deb Flint, and Rosemary Aney. A big thank you to everyone that helped! Editor: Nichole Sauer Carl W. Nelson Animal Shelter P.O Box 345 Mauston, WI 53948 (608) 847-4060 www.carlnelson.org Page 6 of 7 The Fuzzy Mewsletter Carl W. Nelson Animal Shelter January 2010 Meet Mac, a beautiful six year old female gray tabby who is spayed and declawed. Mac’s owner is one of our elderly client who would like to find a good home for her, because she can no longer care for her. Mac is a little shy at first, but warms up as soon as she knows she’s safe. She has been tested for feline leukemia and has had her rabies shot. India and Jo Jo belong to one of our Elderly Assistance clients who is no longer able to care for them. They are about 4 months old. They are black and white tuxedo cats and they would be the purrfect choice for you. India and Jo Jo are very bonded and our client would like to see them adopted together. She will give them away to a good home. WINTER CAN BE TOXIC TO FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS Wisconsin winters can be harsh on pets, but did you know that it can be toxic too? Road salt that is used to melt ice from sidewalks and roads can get caught in paw pads and fur and may make animals sick. Dogs and cats will lick the salt from their fur and paws. If they ingest enough, it can upset their digestive systems, causing vomiting and diarrhea. The best way to prevent an animal getting sick is to wash its paws when it gets home from a walk. Pet-friendly salt is available in stores and is clearly labelled on the bag. The other cold-weather toxic hazard is vehicle anti-freeze, which attracts animals by its sweet taste. Make sure any spills are wiped up immediately because it takes only a small amount to kill a cat or dog. Editor: Nichole Sauer Carl W.
