Regarding Dogswell - I applied on 11/23 and I just heard from them on 2/17 that they'd be sending the gift basket for our silent auction the week of 3/11, and our event is 3/19. They were really nice - but don't expect any correspondence from them until your event is about a month out. I can't wait to see what's in the basket because we have very few items for pets. Good luck!

Dogswell said atleast 60 to 90 days are required before the event.

I just got recieved the donation from Highlights magazine-2years subscription worth $107.00
Have to fax a donation request to them at:
614-324-7978

MMA ~ I got a message from Disney at 3:46pm today saying they were reviewing my application and 11 minutes later got the approval. So happy! Hope you're application enters the review process soon!

Hi Sherry! I am not surprised that you had 3x the recommendation that I had - good stuff, and I will remember those.

For the general thread: I just got a very polite no from Dogswell, who mean it when they say they want 60 days notice. But here's the form:

I received a no from Nickelodeon Hotel today. Received yes responses withing 24 hrs from Kreuig, Stampin Up and Strider. Have not received access code yet from Ten Marks - does anyone know how long that typically takes?

Thanks
