My friend Susie submitted our beloved Peanut Pet Shelter for consideration in the American Express Member’s Project 2008 competition. She was thrilled to find out her entry was approved, and now the shelter has a chance to win some of the 2.5 million usd American Express will be giving to winning projects.
Now, the 80+ dogs and cats that are being cared for at the Peanut Pet Shelter need your help, and it’s so easy to do it and won’t cost you a penny.
To nominate this project for potential funding, please go to Peanut Pet Shelter
Members Project is an exciting initiative that brings people together to make a difference in the world. It’s simple. People go online to share ideas for projects — and ultimately vote on which projects will share $2.5 million in funding from American Express.

You must register with your name and email address to be able to nominate the shelter, and while I know many of you might not care to give out your email address, American Express has stringent anti-spamming policies and won’t sell your information.

HURRY–we only have until September 1 to get the gazillions of nominations they need!


Count mine in. I am #81.

No 244 here!! I will send the link to my contacts. Wouldn’t it be great to see the shelter get so much money. By the way, can you send me that cute little blonde haired puppy in the first picture?!?! My German Shepard, Angel, would be in heaven.
