Links & Email

 

Here are some links to some interesting sites.  Just click on the name of the site, and you'll be whisked away to it.  As usual, clicking your "Back" button on your browser will bring you back here.  Our email link is below at the bottom of this page, as well.

 

 

Click on the banner above and donate to the Red Cross.  This works for Hurricane Katrina donations as well.

 

 

Over 300 police, firemen & women, and paramedics lost their lives along with the thousands of civilians in the tragedy in New York City.  These people literally gave their own lives trying to save others, and leave behind grieving families.  Their financial troubles do not end just because it's been over a year since the attack.  We all know police and firemen are paid pathetically low wages to begin with, but to leave grieving families behind with no financial support only adds to the problem.  If you wish to donate money to the Fireman's Fund to help support these families, you can find info at the NYC site by clicking  HERE.  Or, you can send your donations to:

NEW YORK FIREFIGHTERS 9-11 DISASTER RELIEF FUND
C/O IAFF
1750 NEW YORK AVENUE N.W.
WASHINGTON D.C. 20006 

Strangely enough, we couldn't find info on the NYC Police pages regarding where to make donations for the fallen Police funds, but by clicking  HERE  you can at least get to their web site with contact phone numbers, etc.

The next time you think about ordering that extra pizza, or going out to rent another video, or something else you don't REALLY need, please, think about these fallen heroes and their families, and send that money to their funds instead.

Links Of Interest To Dog & Pet Owners

 

  PET CARE FORUM

A little hard to maneuver around in, but TONS of useful vet and pet info. 

PET INSURANCE

We've removed the link above for pet insurance.   One of their employees stole customer credit and bank information and used it/sold it, causing LOTS of grief to many subscribers, including one of our own.  They do not answer inquiries about it via email, and are skirting around the issues in a very un-customer friendly way.  We no longer endorse VPI (veterinary pet insurance), and advise you to stay away.

PET SUPPLIES BY MAIL ORDER

Forget the expensive pet stores.  Give this link a try.  We use them.

Have a link for a local group or organization that you'd like to possibly see included on this page?   Well, we're picky about who goes here.  We do *not* accept links to political organizations or candidates, nor do we accept links to religious organizations - as stated in other parts of the site, these are "argumentative topics" that we prefer to avoid.  We also will not accept links to any hate group material or organizations.  Artists and craftspeople who have a well done and interesting site may be placed on this page, as will some types of non-profit groups.  Email your suggestion to:  links@thepowderspringspost.com  and we'll consider adding it.
