The year 2024 is notable for the many elections it will hold.  Canada alone will conduct 3 provincial elections, with BC being one of them.  Soooo... the SAINTS residents thought why not hold our own election?  We have always referred to SAINTS as a village or community so therefore we should have a mayor.  We changed the The Amazing Raise into a mayoral RACE and the one who RAISES the most dollars becomes our inaugural mayor.

WHO ARE OUR CANDIDATES:

1. Wren's Page

2. WangWang's Page

3. Victor's Page

4. Peppa's Page

HOW DO YOU VOTE:

Pick your candidate by clicking on the name of who you would like to see as our first mayor. The click will take you to a page where you can donate (because this is a fundraiser disguised as an election)  Each $1 donated equals 1 vote and the candidate with the most dollars becomes the mayor of Saintsville.  Dollars collected by each candidate will then be donated to the shelter.  

WHAT THE MONEY RAISED WILL GO TO:

This year we are going to concentrate on two goals

1. Raise money for a new van.  We purchased a used van with funds raised from the 2016 The Amazing Raise.  But since the summer of 2023 we have been having issues with it.  We would like a reliable van that is more in line with hauling animals and sometimes large items such as stacks of hay.  Below is an example of the type of van we would like to purchase.  

2. WangWang needs TPLO surgeryon both his back legs.  WangWang is just under 8 years old and is still quite an active dog that loves chasing balls.  We did not want to deprive him of one of his favorite activities.  We have been quoted $6000 per leg.  Whether we raise the money or not... WangWang will have his surgery.  He is already tentatively booked for his first surgery.  If he heals easily he will have the second surgery 6 weeks later.  But don't let his injuries make you feel he is not "fit" to be the mayor of Saintsville.  He is still is a shepherd full to brim with personality.
