The Bounty Memorial Fund has been set up as a fund raising effort to help defray costs incurred when a tornado touched down last week in Kalispell during an nbra (national barrel racing assoc.)
One horse was killed and another seriously injured. The horses are owned by the undraitis family of Kalispell. Lynne and her girls were competing and Lynne was filming the event as she usually does for many of the horse shows in the area.
When the tornado touched down the roof of the arena blew off and debris and wind hit Lynne and her girls while crouched next to the trailer. Their 18 yr old horse bounty, a ranked barrel horse champion, killing him almost instantly. Their other horse "icy" went down with collapsed lungs and has been hospitalized for almost 10 days, but is now home and thought to make a full, if not slow recovery.
The costs associated with the tragic accident will be high and a family friend Angela Murphy who is also a competitor, and now lives in Palm Springs ca. has set up a fund in bounty's memory.
These funds will be used first to defray vet and burial costs and secondly to help support a memorial trophy which will hopefully be awarded at future nbra and aqha(American quarter horse) barrel racing youth events in the area.
If you wish to contribute please send donations with check made out to "bounty memorial fund”

Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple. Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on the purple box "fund food for animals" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing.
Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

AGAIN, PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS
Please forgive the intrusion if this is not the type of advocacy you support. Thanks.

The Chase Hawks Memorial Association's Community Crisis Fund.
The Chase Hawks Memorial Association is a Montana Non-profit corporation raising money in Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas to disburse to families in crisis. The Association awards grants, organizes volunteer efforts and labor, and co-sponsors fund-raising benefits for families facing crisis situations that fall outside traditional sources of aid. Funds are distributed on a non-discrimination basis.
The Association has become a viable source of help for families needing short-term assistance or help with travel, facilities, and local benefits that are not addressed by larger charities or insurance because of immediacy or circumstances. The Association has been able to effectively pull together volunteer efforts from the community at large and provide media focus and corporate cooperation at an unprecedented level. This is primarily due to the universal appeal of a community crisis fund and the fact that the organization is an all volunteer effort.
