It’s been about 2 weeks since our last check-in (2009 Loreto Calendar: How you can join in the fun) and we thought it was about time we gave you an update on how we are doing in our effort to support this year’s charity, Animalandia.

We’ve also got an exciting announcement about the 2010 calendars.

Drum roll please…

So far we have sold 55 calendars and raised $601 for Animalandia. This is fantastic! Thank you to all who have supported this effort.

For those that still don’t have a spiffy 2009 Loreto Calendar, there is still time. Get your very own, support Animalandia and have your name immortalized on the 2009 StarkSilverCreek Hall of Fame.

The other announcement is that Clint and I have decided to make this an annual charity initiative and we will be making a call for photo submissions in next couple of months. If you are an aspiring photographer or a pro, start thinking about photos you may want as part of the 2010 Loreto Calendar.

Stay tuned!
