-- The Support DK Contest is Now CLOSED --

But you can Support Doodle Kisses here:  http://www.doodlekisses.com/page/support-doodle-kisses

The time has come!  Here's your once-a-year chance to support DoodleKisses.com and get a chance to win some great prizes.

Here is the link to the contest announcement and $ goals.

First two new supporters who also comment below will get their choice of a DK mug or water bottle from CafePress.  (Go, go, go!)

All other supporters will be entered into a drawing to win one of the following:

The Grand Prize:  A custom Doodle sculpture from Augdiggitydog (our own member Kathryn L. Defibaugh!)
1. One DK T-shirt
2. One DK Mug
3. One DK Water Bottle

And... the grand poobah of prizes:  Our very own (retired) Hopeless Doodle Addict trophy!  This prize is not being given in the drawing but being given to the person who contributes the most in the next 24 hours.  Yes, you can own, forever, the trophy that has traveled around the world many times visiting Hopeless Doodle Addicts and their dogs.  You will also receive a copy of the HDA diary that accompanied the trophy on all it's travels and a mileage certificate showing how far it has actually traveled.  Own a piece of Doodle history, win this contribution war!  :-)

What you MUST do to be entered:

After you have gone to the payment page YOU MUST RESPOND TO THIS DISCUSSION to be entered.  Your comment should say “I support Doodle Kisses because... [this is where you lavish praise on the experience here, your fellow members, their dogs, my children, you get the idea]”.  All members who are current subscribers do not need to subscribe again.  Just post your “I support DK because…” comment and you will be entered. (Just check to make sure you are actually still subscribed since PayPal stops subscriptions when your card expires.) 

 

Please put your Doodle Kisses username in the comments of your PayPal payment so we can know who you are.  :-)

 

SO...without further ado, here is the voluntary subscription info:

Remember to come back here and comment "I support DK because..." to enter for prizes.

 

Thank you so much for making Doodle Kisses wonderful and possible!

PS.  Here is more detail on the process for ‘winning’ the HDA trophy.  It will be awarded to the person who gives the largest donation over the course of the 24 hours of the fund-raiser.  We will keep you updated on the highest current amount (although we won’t tell you who it is).  Here’s an example.  One member makes a donation of $50 to DK.  They are now the leader and would get the HDA trophy if no one else donates higher amount.  We announce in the comments that the highest donation donation is $50.  Some other member then donates $60!  We announce that the current highest donation is $60.  But… the first member who donated $50 REALLY wants that HDA trophy!  So they donate $20 more to make their total for the day $70.  $70 is now the highest donation and would be awarded the HDA trophy.  We then announce the new total highest donation of $70 here in the comments.  (We realize now that this might cause us to stay up all night announcing new donations… we’ll do our best to keep the total current. :-)

I think it would be good to remind people periodically of your preferred vendors. I just placed about 4 orders through Amazon yesterday,  and I think people do use some of the sites regularly. But people forget or don't know about the links.

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Crap, I just ordered this week from Amazon and forgot all about this.  A reminder occasionally would be great.

[Adina P]

You need our DK toolbar to remind you :-)  Or create a link for your toolbar that goes to Amazon via our link: Amazon.DoodleKisses.com

[F, Calla & Luca]

But Adina, new people join all the time and they won't know etc. so occasional reminders would be fine. They are far less intrusive than the ever present ads.

[Adina P]

I do from...time to time, definitely more often than we have this fundraiser.  On FB too.  But I hate to be constantly reminding too. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

Some of us hate FB and don't like missing out on info. That is not shared on DK. luckily my sources let me know about the mystery photo. Why put more content there than here?

[Adina P]

For quick, throughout-the-day updates, it is much easier and faster than starting discussions...unless, of course, I want a discussion.

[F, Calla & Luca]

But of course it iis not DK per se. Maybe you need a front page area for updates from you. Not statuses, they disappear to fast, but like that. Maybe instead of statuses, which are not used much and often missed. But a box in that area.

I added this collage of past HDA recipients last night to the main discussion...here it is in case you missed it :-)

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

This collage is soooo cool!  

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I love it! So happy to see me and my boys with this great group of doodles and doodle-owners!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Love it!
