[Highland Park] Fw: Last chance for the $20.10 special!
by Meg Reilly 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Animal Friends is offering reduced cost cat adoptions through Sunday! Happy New Year? It sure was! We’re so pleased to report that Animal Friends’ $20.10 cat adoption special was a meowing success! We found loving homes for over 200 cats…which means that we were able to guarantee a second chance to 200 more cats that needed us. Now, our felines would like to remind you that the $20.10 adoption special ends this weekend! Through February 28, Animal Friends is offering $20.10 cat adoptions. So, won’t you please visit? Animal Friends typically requests a donation of $75 for an adult cat and $100 for a kitten. But through February 2010, a $20.10 adoption donation includes a feline companion, PLUS its spay or neuter surgery, thorough medical examination, all appropriate vaccinations including rabies, feLeuk and FIV testing, and microchip. And, Animal Friends encourages a second feline adoption for just another $10 donation. It’s not too late to make a New Year’s Resolution to offer a second chance to a cat that needs you! Click here to learn more about the adoption applications process and to view our adoptable cats now.

[Highland Park] Looking for a CPA for Tax Help
by Rob Nichols 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hello Neighbors, I am in need of an accountant to answer some tax questions for me. My questions do not pertain to my own tax returns (which should be fairly easy) but rather an estate of which I am the executor. If you are a CPA in the neighborhood and can answer some questions and possibly do an estate tax return for me, then please let me know. Regardless of whether or not you do a return for me, I'm certainly willing to pay you for your time and advice. Best, Rob Nichols
