MardiPaws at Bobbisox (at the Airport Holiday Inn,) made over $1700 for HSPC!!! And everyone had lots of fun. Thanks to the Little Rock Bop Club, Bobbisox, volunteers Ann, Mary and Kimber, three adorable puppies, and especially Debbie Howell, who arranged it, coordinated it, and made it all happen. Were going to try to make this an annual event.
Sunday March 7--Birthday Party at the shelter-- 1:30PM Need help!
***Day Planner/Calendar --People in the horse community are so impressed with the work our shelter manager, Kay Jordan, does in rescuing horses, that they are working with us to produce and market a dayplanner for 2005. This planner, based on the one Tulsa SPCA has been so successful with, features a photo of a sponsor's pet(s) (with or without people) on a tabbed monthly page, or on a week-at-a glance page. There are various sponsorship levels, with different benefits levels.
Help needed: graphic arts layout; selling (or buying!) sponsorships; low-cost printing; If you are interested in any of this, let me know, and I will get you sponsorship forms, information, or anything else you need. We are getting started now, and have lots of great help from horse lovers. The planner will also feature cats and dogs, and any other pets you might have! We are working on this nowhave to be ready to print by July1!!!
March 6 and 7there is a horse event at Hestand Stadium in Pine Bluff. We have been invited to set up a booth to sign up sponsors for our dayplanner. Anyone interested? We might also take a few adoptables. Would anybody like to go??
Thursday March 25, there will be a group of Girl Scouts working on their Pet Care Badge at HS, starting at 10AM. Ann is our Scout Coordinator, and could use someone to help her with this. She has the materials.
We can still use more clerical help with the Science Diet cards; We've made real progress, but could still use help. This is a requirement of the program we have with Science Diet, and we kind of got behind in sending them in.
***New We will be doing Pet Photos at our Mall store on the second Saturday of every month. Volunteer Ann Linton sets up with a digital camera and printer. She did Valentines photos, and they were a big hit. Her first shoot will be March 13, and she would love to have an assistant. She will be there 10-3. I can e-mail or fax flyers about this, if you would like to distribute some. Let me know. The flyer should be on our website soon. Doesnt everyone want great pictures of their dogs, cats, kids, bunnies, etc???

As before, first Saturdays May-September at Trinity United Methodist Church; Third Saturdays at Kroger, Taylor and Cantrell; and June 12, July 10, and August 21 at First United Methodist Church in NLR.
