FUNDRAISING EFFORT: Samantha Willis passed away suddenly on August 21, 2014 at the age of 22. She was preceded in death by her husband this past April. The couple leaves behind three young children (ages 2, 4, and 6), who have now lost both of their parents within just a few months of each other. This fund has been set up to help cover costs associated with Samantha's funeral and to help provide for these children who were so tragically orphaned at such a young age. Any amount that you can donate - even if it's just a few dollars - would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS Support the Cause! The Jackson Fire Department is again supporting the Amador STARS to help support our friends on their cancer journey.
Let's spread the word and help them to pass last years sales! Order your tee shirt today to wear in October, supporting both our firefighters and the cause! Visit: www.booster.com/jfd2014

LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE in the Nov 4th General Election is October 20!

DOCK DIVING CLASSES FOR DOGS!
"I never thought I would get into to this fun DOCK DIVING sport - and then I got a Lab and Amador County got a regulation size dock diving pool!
In preparation for our introduction to Dock Diving I started introducing my Lab at 9 months this Spring to a stream, then a pool with steps, then my pool with a ramp into and ladder out of it, and then the full size dock diving pool. At first he was hesitant - though I went slowly and now he is diving at about 11 feet from the 2 foot high dock. At one year of age he will be going to his first NADD competition this month!
I have now started working with 2 of my other dogs (my Border Collie loves it even more than herding - WOW!) as well as quite a few folks in private lessons. It is really fun and satisfying to build a dog's confidence step by step to try something new. At first Miles, my Border Collie who liked swimming in lakes, wouldn't even put his paw into my pool . . . and now he is flying into the big pool! Many dogs who are comfortable going into a lake to swim, need some guidance their first few times going into a pool.
I am also teaching small group classes up to 4 dogs at Gold Country Pet Resort in Ione.  My next series starts Sept 15 - my August series is FULL! :-)  For more info and a video and some other pics please visit: http://dog-b-good.com/DockDivingClasses.html"

DOCENTS NEEDED for Monteverde Museum. Presently, the museum is only opened two days out of each month.  When the museum is opened we usually have 20 plus visitors a day.  Local folks, visitors, in state and out of state are always happy to be able to go inside the store and experience the feeling of days gone by.  Many will say it is like stepping back in time.  Many will also say, they have been through Sutter Creek before and to their dismay the store has been closed.
  It would be beneficial for Sutter Creek if the museum would be opened more often.  Unfortunately, we have a shortage of docents.  Presently, we have only 4 active docents to open the museum. We really need people to volunteer to just have the doors open to the public. If you know of anyone who has free time to do possibly one day a month, or even a few hours one day a month, please let us know.
  Still reaching out for other ideas to encourage folks to volunteer time. If you have any ideas please forward to me at rkf48@aol.com

VIA OPERATION CARE: SCAM ALERT
We have just learned that someone is going door to door asking for donations for Operation Care. WE DO NOT DO THIS AND ARE NOT DOING THIS. If someone comes to your home asking for a donation, please get a good description and report them to the police.
Some people will stoop pretty low to rip someone off. I hope they don’t come to your home. Please share if you can.
If you did want to help operation Care, we take donations by mail or in person at our offices listed below. Never door to door.
Thank you,
Linda A. Zender
Operation Care Board President

DO YOU HAVE STACKS OF NEWSPAPERS laying around your house, waiting to be recycled? Then please bring them on down to the Busi Parking lot in Jackson behind Mel's. The Boy Scout Troops of Amador County are collecting your newspaper donations and accept on an on-going basis. The large cargo container sits at the very back of the parking lot. There should be pallets next to the dumpster, where everyone can leave their stacks. Anyone can drop off their newspapers 7 days a week, day or night. We ask that you only donate actual newspapers, no glossy advertising, magazines or books. All proceeds directly benefit the various Troops in Amador County. It's a Win-Win for everyone, Scouts, you and the environment! For more information, contact Jenny Fritz at artsychickenfarm@gmail.com
