BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: After about 4 years of fundraising, CFC is going on hiatus. We're closing down the shop on July 1 to take some time to reorganize and think about how to be a better fundraiser. We plan to be back in action in 2009.
HELP US CLEAR OUT THE SHOP!! Use the coupon code "BUYSTUFF" in the shopping cart for 75% off your purchases! That's a lot! Tell your friends! We'd like to have nothing left by the time we close on July 1, so that all of these handmade goods can benefit greyhounds.
Please get in touch if you have any questions, and thanks for all of your support over the years.
