Our fabulous volunteer, Brooke (horselover07) has generously offered to take on the project of a 2010 calendar. She will order calendars to be printed and will take orders once they are finished. The costs will be covered by the sale of the calendars, which she is covering up front. But in order to get these and market them properly, she needs photos asap! There are some splendid photos all over this board but it would probably work best if everyone were to post a link in this thread to the original photos as some of them may have been sized too small to work for her project. You're posting to this thread will also give permission for her to use in the fundraiser. Let's give it a deadline of September 15th so that she has time to go through them and create the project. As of our discussion today, I believe she will be using the following desk calendar format: www.vistaprint.com/photo-desk-calendars/gallery.aspx?pg=41&rd=2&filter=9%3a10013||1%2c3%3a10085||1%2c26%3a10080||1&page=1&pagesize=24&sort=p_TO!desc&xnav=filter She'll post more here very soon! Thanks and send us your best photos!!

My suggestion is we go for a 2010 calender, seeing as how 2009 is wrapping up.

www.vistaprint.com/desk-calendars/gallery.aspx?pg=41&preid=65&rd=2Brooke here! The Nonies are a little upset, but I veto'd the idea of having them be the centerfold. What I need are 13 photos. Clear quality, with not much else but the horses. The horses name would be great since I know the horses how are at SAFE now, but do not know the ones who have found their forever homes. I saw one yesterday in Dutchess's link of her, Emma, and their big brother running in the snow which is sort of what I'm looking for! Everyone takes beautiful photos, I just need to borrow them! I am going to go for the desk top calender since it is going to be a higher profit margin than the normal sized calenders. Right now making them is on sale, so I want to get them done ASAP before they change the price and I need to go back to the drawing board! If there are any important SAFE dates that we already know, I THINK I can include that on the calendar, but haven't played with the site enough to know for sure. I was thinking of including the worming schedule just so people have a reminder. I don't think non-horse people who buy a calendar will mind. The calendar I am going to order (if the price stays the same) is www.vistaprint.com/desk-calendars/gallery.aspx?pg=41&preid=65&rd=2They do not have Lavender as an option for the background so I will wait to decide that once I see what pictures we come up with! So! I need 13 photos. I would like to use the SAFE Logo as the cover if that is okay, that still leaves 12 photos. The faster i get them, the faster I get the price. Oh! Please don't be offended if I don't pick your photo. I won't be the only one voting! Right now as I have it figured out the profit on 100 Calenders would be around 1,200 if they all sold. I'm going to start with 100 and if they sell by November I'll buy 50 more to sell. The plan is to sell them via craigslist/facebook/blogs/ and e-bay. I'll see how much shipping would cost, but it can't be that much. January- February- March- April- May- June- July- August- (Is the SAFE show always in August? I could write something about check the SAFE website for show dates!) September- October- November December- My personal e-mail is bcfreeburg@yahoo.com feel free to e-mail me there. I'll collect the pictures and send them off for voting. 2010 is going to be a great year!

Are we looking for just photos of SAFE horses (past and present?). I assume so but you didn't clarify. I vote for one of the ones of Jasmine I just took!
As for the SAFE show, we don't have anything firm yet, but we are looking to have it earlier next year, in late June or July, so as not to conflict so much with Fair. So I am not sure we will have that nailed down by then but we can try.

Oh yes! Sorry!! Just SAFE Horses, believe me, I'd love to post Denali in that calender somewhere, but she wasn't rescued through SAFE (just my credit card at the auction) I think it should be just SAFE horses. I also think that it would be nice to include an additional photo from the ones we don't use with a "back story" to enclose in the calender so people who buy the calender can see what their money (and maybe future donations) Sams Club owes me 75 free prints so I could use that to put those photos in the calender. Kind of like a sponsorship photo.

Just contacted Vistaprint, the place that I am ordering the Calenders from. The sale is ending, but she will honor the price for me! How nice is that?!

Thanks for the link. I just saw the picture of Scotti, going after Ariel and the "milk bar" and I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair! HILARIOUS!!
