Things You Can Do to Help House Rabbit Society in 2004

*** Spread the Word About Shopping at Amazon.com ***

As Amazon.com expands their merchandise lines, so does the potential
donation amount for House Rabbit Society. Every time you make purchase
at Amazon.com using the following link:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/houserabbitsocie

(found on the HRS home page www.rabbit.org), 5% of your purchase price goes
straight to HRS. Please help spread the word about this program by giving
the link to your friends, family and co-workers. Jot the link down onto an
index card and post it at your veterinary clinic, pet supply shop and
local library. If more people get involved in this easy-to-participate-in
program, more rabbits can be helped by House Rabbit Society.


*** Recycle Your Computer Printer Cartridges ***

Several months ago, House Rabbit Society teamed up with Cash for Critters,
an organization that recycles laser and ink jet printer cartridges. HRS
receives between $1 & $12 dollars for every recycled cartridge.
Please tell everyone you know about this wonderful opportunity to help the
rabbits keeping materials out of landfills. Collecting cartridges from local
businesses, libraries and schools are great ways to help us
expand this program. To find out more and for a full listing of the
cartridges Cash for Critters accepts, please go to:

http://www.cashforcritters.com

Mail printer cartridges directly to:
Cash for Critters
P.O. Box 42293
Phoenix AZ 85080

Please include a note indicating the donation is to be sent to:
House Rabbit Society
148 Broadway
Richmond CA 94804


*** Adorn Your Wall with a 2004 Rabbits Calendar ***

Photographed by the New York City chapter's Mary Cotter, all rabbits featured
in this calendar are rescued rabbits. Calendars may be purchased at many House
Rabbit Society chapters, benefiting that specific chapter. Or, you may purchase
a calendar from calendars.com. where 15% of the purchase price will go directly
to House Rabbit Society. http://www.rabbit.org/links/calendar.html


*** Use Checks that Help Support House Rabbit Society ***

Every box of checks purchased from petchecks.com provides another donation
to House Rabbit Society. You can even customize your checks with a picture of
your rabbit printed on them!
Please go to: http://www.petchecks.com/bunnies.html


*** HRS Chapter Item of the Month ***

The Buckeye House Rabbit Society, serving Ohio since 1997 has a charming
tote bag for sale, another in their line of the "Rabbit Wisdom" series. The
tote would be perfect for carrying fresh produce, a large picnic lunch or an
excellent bag for the gym. In purchasing one of these tote bags you would be
helping the Ohio chapter's fostering program as well as all who see
its message.
To see this tote bag and all of the other items Ohio sells (check out the cool
key chains!), please go to: http://www.ohare.org/


*** Help House Rabbit Society Meet Its 2003 Membership Goal ***

We need only 9 new members to meet our goal of 750 online memberships in
2003. Membership cost $18. ($25 international). All members receive our
publication, House Rabbit Journal. If you are already a member of House Rabbit
Society, we thank you and ask that you consider a membership for a friend.
Please help us meet this goal.

On behalf of the rabbits, thank you.


** Derek & Sabrina **

This final newsletter of 2003 is dedicated to Derek & Sabrina. Derek once
worked at House Rabbit Society Headquarters. He fell in love with a little
bunny named Sabrina. Sabrina had a malocclusion and needed all of her food
grated into small bits. Derek took care of her. Sabrina would sit on Derek's
shoulder while he ate his lunch. When he left House Rabbit Society to pursue
other goals, Sabrina went with him. Sadly, Sabrina died last month. Derek,
we care about you and are thinking of you. Know that Sabrina will always be
there, on your shoulder.
