Dear Mike,
It's a magical time of the year. Lights are going up, garlands are being hung, presents are being shopped for and wrapped and everyone is getting dressed up for parties and toasting in the holiday season.
And yet, there are four-leggers among us who are cold, sick, underfed, and unloved. And there are still so many unwanted litters of puppies and kittens -- babies who will sadly find themselves caught in this cycle of despair. Won't you please give to the Doris Day Animal Foundation and come to the aid of these innocent animals today?
I can't bear thinking of these doggies and kitties, who love us so unconditionally, and yet who suffer from neglect and poverty. It breaks my heart, and I just want to shout to the rafters: "Please help!"
I know so many of you are avid supporters of our work, and you appreciate all the animals we save, horses and sea lions and wild raptors -- and of course the dogs and cats. You encourage us as we identify grantees who rescue and rehabilitate animals -- especially senior babies. Your words and your dollars are so very important and so very appreciated.
We also know there are some of you who may feel your small contribution will not go very far, but I am here to say, even the smallest donation, when combined with many others, can help us achieve so much good! We have so many plans for DDAF, now and in the new year! But we need your support. So please consider a gift to DDAF today -- no matter the amount!
Together, we can work to make it a magical holiday for the least among us: the four-leggers in need.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your generosity!
Love,
Doris

Fan letter received from Judy in California...
Mike,
Just stumbled upon something that would interest you and the rest of Doris's fans (assuming you all don't already know about it). It's a youtube of her V-discs with Les Brown during and immediately after WWII. I found 5 of them, but the one I liked the best includes brief comments by both Les Brown and Doris. If you search for "Les Brown Doris Day V-Disc 412," the V-disc starts with Artie Shaw's band -- but the comments begin at about 5:30 and precede their recording of "Take Me in Your Arms." I had only ever heard Doris's 1952 recording, but this one is from 1945. (The other V-disc numbers are 5l5, 600, 814, and 824.) Would like to share this info with Doris Day web forum, but I don't know how to do that.
