- - HSPC Newsletter 9/09/07Needed- Treat Jar Painters ! "Reigning Cats & Dogs" features hand-painted treat jars/pet bowls every year. We need volunteers to do that this year. You do not need experience, but the cost to participate is $25. (This covers the bowl and final processing) The finished project is placed in the auction. There are seats available for this fun event on September 20 from 5:30-7:30 at The Painted Pig in the Heights. Contact Melissa Campbell to reserve your seat at mmc0402@yahoo.com.
One of our volunteers offered us a 7' cat condo, but we need someone with a truck to pick it up. She lives near Hall High. If you can help, let me know and I will set it up.
Our last Dog Wash for the season will be Saturday, September 15, at Kroger in the Heights (Cantrell and Polk). We need help setting up at 8:30, and we start washing dogs at 9. We're hoping everyone will want to get their dogs nice and clean for the winter, and we'll be really busy! So come out and help!
***CORRECTION : Our Kroger cards made $710.00 for July! Please remember to use them. You can purchase them at the shelter, or at our Mall store. (You can't get them at Kroger). If you don't know how they work, let me know and I'll explain this painless way to make money for the shelter. I just brought 50 more over to the shelter.
