Our bricks are in. Years ago, we had a brick drive---people could buy a brick and have it inscribed with their name, or that of a pet. The money raised was used for our new building. We are now ready to make a beautiful walkway with the bricks. If you have brick-setting skills and would like to help, please let us know.
Also, we received a donation of a lot of tile. We want to use it in place of the rubber cove molding, which the animals trash quickly.If you would like to help set the tile (at the bottom of the walls), let us know. We'd like to start this project soon.
Alumni Pictures - If you, or anyone you know, has adopted a shelter animal...we are looking for alumni pictures. We want to make a giant poster of alumni for our 60th anniversary early this spring.
Saturday September 23--Dog wash at Trinity made $600.for the dog play area.. Karen and Susann are getting started ordering materials and hiring contractors...

October 13-Dayplanner release party--an "invitation only" party for all the sponsors and people who bought pages in the dayplanner.
We need one more person to help get the books to the people who pre-purchased, and bought a page. We will have a table set up at the party; Toby, Laurie and I have volunteered to do this, and we need one more. This is at a lovely home in the city, and runs from 6:30 to 8:30.(New time!) If you want more information, let me know if you know some one who wants a Chihuahua, MinPin, or other small dog, we still have some available from the rescue in Stone County; have them contact Kay at the shelter.

November 11--Second Friday Art Night in Little Rock. Rivermarket ArtSpace is dedicating a percentage of sales this night to HSPC. We can have dogs and cats there, and hand out information. Plus have a good time!Second Friday Art Night is a lot of fun--free trolley rides from gallery to galle ry; food, wine, art...and this time, cats and dogs! ArtSpace owner Debra Wood is an HSPC supporter, and recently adopted a darling kitty from us You can check her website at: www.rivermarketartspace.com - click on "gallery news."
Also, volunteers, think about helping with adoptions. More animals get adopted if the potential adopters get personal attention. Helping with adoptions is my favorite thing to do, but I am not there all the time. If you like seeing our dogs and cats going to wonderful homes, and would like to help with adoptions, let me know, and I will be happy to get you started
A reminder --if you have an HSPC Kroger Gift card, don't forget to use it! And we have some more, if you know anyone who wants one.
