15 years ago
A wild 
jenesri appears!
Hello!
Welcome to the newsletter for the RoaVaFurs. I would like to thank you guys a head of time for reading this news and other bits-and-bites within the words. I would like to welcome all the new people that are doing what they are doing...watching!
We are always looking for more furries to join us in fun and what-not in the Roanoke Valley. If you have furry friends that would like to join us, bring them.
I would like to let everyone know that we were mentioned in the Podcast called Furcast [http://furcast.xanacreations.com/ ] Episode FC-19 Weaponized Air Conditioner. Please check it out. (Apparently, they think Jen is a guy. Hehe.)
We are currently a group on Facebook! If you are interested please let us know, we'd love to get you in.
We are also on pounced.org, ifpl, and youtube!
I hope you enjoy this latest addition of RoaVaFurs Newsletter/Journal.
Seeking Help!
Currently, we are looking for people to take on the responsibilities of client side information; dealing with posting pictures, videos, comments and notes.
We would like to ask everyone to send some information so I can work on a newsletter for the RoaVaFurs, through our Google Mail account. You will get monthly updates for events, questionnaires and coupons. Yes, coupons; I've discussed with some restaurants and some areas to get some. We would appreciate if you would do so in getting this information. If you are concerned about getting spam, don't be. We only post a newsletter once a month and friendly reminders for those wishing to attend the next event.
We are getting closer at the end of the year and the beginning of a new year. We are currently looking for more members and willing members to take on tasks; administration, media casts (podcast/youtube videos), chair members: President, Vice President and others.
We are looking for people that are willing to take on more tasks for me; I do a lot for the group and it is very hard to balance a full time job, my hobby and this group. I would not want to push this group aside and the fandom.
Please step up to the tasks! I use up my free time checking information and updating all the time!

You thought "I wasn't going to miss out on the last day." I did say in November that was our last event. Some people did mention that they would like to have an event in Roanoke. I thought about it, and then sure. We are going to have this as an optional event, especially with Mid-terms, Family and Weather.
This event is one of those you can miss. We are going to skate and be there until we want to leave. We are always welcomed in fursuit, ears, tails and all. We will NOT be getting a room this time, due to last time for recent complications.
Required: (On attending) Money, a ride, socks and willing to have fun.
Optional: New, unused Toy. (Donations for Toys for Tots of the Roanoke Valley.)

Yard Sale/Lawn Convention
Date: March 12. 2011 Time: Early 6:30 AM

There is a time that you would like to get rid of some stuff that you don't need anymore. We're looking into fixing that. We want to get rid of some stuff too.
Start collecting some stuff that you can part with and hope you can make a pretty penny off of it. We will be doing a yard sale in jenesri front yard, and will be holding a donation for Roanoke SPCA Animal Shelter during that time. People can donate some of their money that they earn, you aren't required to.
The Lawn Convention will be going on in the backyard of jenesri house, we will be cooking out and having outdoors fun. It is a small house, so please be mindful.
More information on this event in the future...
