<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Just got off the phone with Dawn. The fire is
getting closer, but they are not under mandatory evacuation as of
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>They are ready to go on a minutes notice.
Dawn said it is hard to tell how much closer it is during the day b/c of all the
smoke. In the evening you can judge the distance better b/c you can see
the fire itself.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>One of Daphneyland's volunteers has opened a
FirstGiving page and has also posted on Craiglist for volunteers in the Tarzana
area in case of evacuation. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Even if the manage to not have to evacuate they
will still need funds for eye wash, eye drops, and new toys....just to mention a
few things off the top of my head. All the stuffies that were in the yard
have to be disposed off, not b/c of the smoke, but b/c many of them have holes
from hot ashes that have fallen on them. And we all know that the Hounds
would just pull out the stuffing and eat it :)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Here is the link to sign up to volunteer in case of
evacuation. This is for the Tarzana area, about 50 miles south
of the ranch.</FONT></DIV>
