NEWS AND EVENTSHSPC Week 8/16/2004
Fosters Needed! - We need someone to foster 3 little kittens for about a week. They need to be bottle-fed, but are almost old enough for food. They need to be fed around every 4 hours. If you can help, please let me know.
Saturday August 21---Dog Wash at Kroger in the Heights. I need a lot of help! John wont be helping this Saturday, so I need more help than usual. We will be setting up at 6AM so he can make an early meeting. (We dont expect help with that!), but I will need help washing and taking down.
Saturday August 21Dog Wash in NLR at 6501 JFK. Let Richard know if you can help. (Richard.a.morgan@alltel.com)
Saturday, August 21- Whiskers at the Mall. If you can help at the Mall store and adoption center, contact Chris at: ellischris@uams.edu. Did anyone take some Sassy Chic cookbooks to sell? We have been asked for an accounting, and some cant be located.
Aldersgate has asked us to extend our Puppy Club visits throughout the yearon weekends. Ann has a wonderful program she has set up with them, and will need occasional help. If you are interested in helping on a weekend or two, let me know and I will put you in touch.
Our Puppy Love program, (taking puppies to visit folks in nursing homes, shelters, etc) needs more volunteers. Please contact Patty at pjorwall@swbell.netfor more information.
Starting July 5, Pizza Hut will again donate 20% of sales on Monday 5-8PM to HSPC. Think of Monday as Pizza Night! This is any Pizza Hut in Pulaski County, and includes delivery!
Igive.com - Another easy way to help HSPC! An organization called iGive.com.
If you sign up with them, and specify HSPC as your preferred charity, whenever you shop online at any of about 500 merchants, a percentage of your purchase goes automatically to HSPC. All you have to do is sign up. Then, at any time when you are online shopping, if you go to a participating merchant, like, say Lands End, or Barnes and Noble, a little note will pop up and tell you what percentage is being donated. There is also a list available of merchants, so you can choose to use the ones involved.
Donations - The shelter could also use donations of the following: tools; a weed eater, and a vehiclean SUV, pickup or van. This could be a nice tax deduction for someone, and a huge help to the shelter. We could also use occasional help mowing (we have a mower) and weeding the landscaped area. Also, a PC computer with Windows 2000.
Kroger Cards - Remember to USE YOUR KROGER GIFT CARDS!! And we have more to sell. Our first month brought in $600; this month we got less than $400, even though we have more cards out there. Remind folksthey dont help if we dont use them! And we get 5% of all purchase if you do use them. (If you want to buy one, or know someone who does, let me know. And our website explains how they work)
All day, every day---help is needed walking, bathing, playing with the dogs and cats of HSPC. The more time you spend with them, the more adoptable they become. You dont need to schedule a timeif you have some time available, just come on down. Were open 11-6 every day, and until 8PM Mondays and Fridays.
