Majestic 2019 Calendars

Make a $30.00 donation* to Majestic and get your 2019 calendar as our way of saying thank you! *Sorry... Offer valid in the continental USA only.

We can package up to 3 calendars in the same envelope, so for each additional $28.00 donation you give, we'll send up to 2 more calendars to the same address. That's $30.00 donation for one calendar, a $58.00 donation for two calendars, or an $86.00 donation for three calendars all going to the same address.

Calendars measure 8.5 " x 11" rectangle and are of very high quality--nothing flimsy about them.

 
Featuring Lincoln on the cover!

For those of you who don't know, Kim has drawn over 130 special little holiday ducks and geese to fill the day squares of our calendar, so you'll never miss another Donald Duck Day, Bathtub Party Day, or National Pekin Duck Day ever again--and YES these special occasions are absolutely REAL! We didn't make them up!

Calendars feature major Christian and Jewish holidays along with a whole slew of important pet holidays as well. We even included some extra fun days like: Paranormal Day, Star Wars Day, Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day, and International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Deadline to donate is:

Midnight, EST on Black Friday, November 23, 2018

In order for everyone's calendars to arrive in time for the holidays, we must place our entire order immediately following this deadline. This means if you procrastinate and wait for the deadline to pass you by, you'll be out of luck!

REMEMBER to include your complete USA shipping address, phone number, email address and the number of calendars you'd like to recieve when making your donation.


Three Day DOUBLE-Matched Fundraiser!

Thanks to the enormous generosity of one of our private sponsors, we have a 3 Day DOUBLE-Matched Fundraiser up to $5000 scheduled for December 7-9 (Friday - Sunday).

This means, for every dollar you donate, our sponsor will donate TWO MORE dollars. If we can raise the full $5000, they will donate an additional $10,000 to our sanctuary! WOW!

This fundraiser will cover the cost of building 20 new duck houses/goose barns for our rescues, so they have a cozy place in their pens to rest and sleep warmly in winter. Our existing ones are deteriorating beyond repair and need to be replaced (if you donated one of these original houses, your name plate will be moved over to the replacement house). 

Any funds remaining after covering the cost of duck and goose houses will be directed to feed, hay, sand, electricity, snow removal services for our pen roofs, vet care and supplies for our rescues--of course!


Mazuri Waterfowl Feed:  Temporary Pellet Size Change

For those of you who feed your pet ducks and geese Mazuri Waterfowl Maintenace feed or Mazuri Waterfowl Breeder feed, you may notice a temporary difference in the pellet size.

One of our Majestic supporters and adopters opened up a new bag of feed and immediately noticed the smaller pellets inside. She called Mazuri to make sure there wasn't a packaging error and that what was packed in the bag was actually waterfowl food (very smart thinking!). Mazuri confirmed that the smaller pellets are indeed waterfowl food. Apparently, there was a problem with their extruder and the feed pellets were temporarily compressed differently. The replacement part has since arrived and bags dated after SEPT 10th will be normal-sized again.

Thank you for the immediate heads-up, Anne! Wouldn't you know, the very next day after receiving this emailed information from you, we opened up one of our sanctuary's own new bags and noticed the same exact thing. Thanks to you, we were able to continue topping off everyone's food bowls without worry!


West Wing: Quarantine Pen Expansion & Rebuild

In order to help manage our time crunch, we had planned to hire someone to put in our pen's new pad of concrete, but... when it came down to getting it done right (and affordably), we found we were better off doing the work ourselves.

After clearing the land and putting in our cement form and reinforcements, the cement truck arrived!

  

  

Provided it's not raining, we will beging rebuilding our quarantine pen this Saturday, beginning with drain installation. Once the new pipes are in place, the structure will start going up!

Work will continue every Saturday and Sunday beginning at 10:00 a.m. and ending around 3:00 pm. Our goal is to complete this pen rebuild by November 25th.

Can you lend a helping hand? If so, please let us know!
