You've Gotta See It...!
AHA! Seeks Soothing Purrs and Melodic Meows!
Do you know a cat whose purr is so soothing that it instantly de-stresses you? Or, are you acquainted with a cat whose meow is very sweet and melodic? AHA! is seeking digital recordings of these soothing sounds for an upcoming audio project.
You don't need a professional recording studio -- just your computer and a microphone will do! Record your kitty's purrs and meows and send your digital file, along with the kitty's name (and a photo if possible), to rebecca@ahaworks.org. If sending your sounds on CD via snail mail: AHA! P.O. Box 267, Lake Villa, IL 60046. (If your file is really large, e-mail us for FTP info.) If chosen for our project, your kitty (and you!) will be slathered with gratitude, recognition, and free copies of the audio work.
Know Any Hot MOCs?
Do you know a man who loves animals? Who expresses compassion through his care and tenderness for other living beings? Maybe he's an extraordinary veterinarian, an urban wildlife lover, or a loving pet owner.
AHA! seeks your nominations for our 2009 Hot MOCs calendar. (Your Man of Compassion's hot-ness factor is judged solely on his compassion, not how he looks.)
Send a brief description of your compassionate man nominee, including how he demonstrates his compassion toward animals, use our Contact Page to tell us about him. If chosen for our calendar, we will need a high-resolution photo. If chosen, your man will earn our undying gratitude, a really cool award certificate, plus score a few free copies of the calendar.
Deadline for nominations is August 1, 2008.
Questions: call 847-622-4433 or e-mail info@ahaworks.org.
"How can I teach your children gentleness and mercy to the weak, and reverence for life...when by your laws, your actions, and your speech, you contradict the very things I teach?
Among the noblest in the land—
Though man may count himself the least—
That man I honor and revere,
Who without favor, without fear,
In the great city dares to stand,
The friend of every friendless beast."
~Henry W. Longfellow
