To friends of Sidecar for Pigs Peace

Here is the email sent to the media early this morning.

An early morning fire at Pigs Peace Sanctuary in Stanwood Washington destroyed the sanctuary's Education Center and nearly claimed the life of a family friend. The guest woke at 3AM to find heavy smoke. He escaped unharmed but the building was a total loss.

The Education Center housed classroom and lecture space, a library, large kitchen, bathrooms and laundry facilities for the sanctuary. It also held all the photos and newsletters from the last 12 years.

Fire also damaged electrical wiring for the sanctuary barns leaving them without power for water.

The Sanctuary needs your financial help now. You can donate at http://www.pigspeace.org using PayPal, sending a check, or bringing your donation to Sidecar for Pigs Peace.

Many thanks,
Peggy
