Greater Chicago Ferret Association ShelterThe GCFA is a Non-Profit organization with both a Ferret Shelter & Club. We are the Oldest and Largest Ferret Association in the Greater Chicago Area! In trying to come up with a mission statement that would reflect what G.C.F.A. is all about, and how the volunteer's that help us feel about what they do. I chose this short story that was written by someone who wishes to remain anonymous. An old man was walking along a beach after a particularly high and violent tide had receded, leaving thousands of starfish stranded above the waterline to die. Ahead of him he saw a youth, bending down and then standing to fling something into the waves. Coming closer, he saw the youth was tossing starfish back into the ocean where they had a chance. "Why bother?" the old man told the youth. "There are thousands here. You can't toss them all back before they die. You can't even toss a small fraction of them back in time. What you're doing doesn't matter." The youth pondered that a moment, looking at the starfish he held in his hand. "It matters to this one," he replied, and threw it back into the water. This is all that anyone can ask and/or do. If you can, help us save one more!!!PO Box 7093, Westchester IL US 60154 Ph:(708)442-8650 http://www.gcfa.com Email: gcfa@sbcglobal.net
