As we have been living together for quite a while, and don't need many physical items, we'd love it if guests who want to gift us something would donate to a cause we care about instead. We can't imagine our family without our three hams. Animal rescue has been a passion of Katherine's and we'd love to give back to the three rescue organizations that brought us together with Bill, Vinny and Rocco. Funds will be evenly distributed between three organizations: Freedom Street Rescue (Houston, TX) - Bill, Seattle Area Feline Rescue (Seattle, WA) - Vinny, and Alley Cat Project (Seattle, WA) - Baby Rocco.

Over the last year and a half we have spent most of our time working to transform our outdoor spaces into a functional, beautiful and educational oasis. With this fund we would finish up the last few projects in our back yard. These include: removal and disposal of concrete, erecting two grape arbors for our unruly vines, and planting a dwarf fruit tree "orchard."
