Hi everyone! You haven't heard from me in a few days, so I thought I'd touch base and let you know what's cooking...
~Tonight is Reverse Trick or Treat at the Green Road Adoption Center! Stop by and drop off whatever treats you can spare for the animals...and enjoy some punch and cookies too. We'd love to see YOU in your Halloween costumes too!
~Spayghetti: We need a head count. Please give me good news and tell me we've sold lots of tickets. Oh...and remember to highlight (when you're trying to sell tickets) that 75% of each ticket sold goes directly to ACAPL. We know Madison seems "out of the way," but the Wagon Wheel Restaurant is being incredibly generous and donating their time and space to us.
~Details for Photos with Santa are slowly trickling in. We still need props for all dates...and Santas and elves for the December dates.
~If you happen to have...or know somewhere we can borrow...an artificial Christmas tree (or two...or three...or four)...please let me know! We're doing photos with Santa for sure on three dates. And we're talking about doing some "adopt a cage" ornament trees in schools and around town. So we need lots of holiday spirit to go around!
~I will be coordinating our presence at the Ashtabula Christmas parade. Devon has so kindly offered to make another float with her hay wagon (I'm telling you...she is the parade queen). If anybody would like to volunteer to ride the float, walk with a dog, or throw out candy canes...please let me know. It is Friday, November 20th at 7pm.
~There is a fundraiser planned for The Cove on November 21st. Doc Fiala is chairing this and more details will be coming soon.
~Keep thinking and bringing in ideas for fundraisers. Donations are down and we need to keep up our best efforts.
~We're going to be starting a push for Kuranda dog beds for the holidays. Let's get the dogs up off the concrete for the winter months. Be sure to tell everyone you know about the link on the website. The cost is discounted since the beds are going to us AND the cost can be taken as a charitable donation! Win-Win!
~As a note of information...the Board is strongly encouraging everyone to NOT refer to our Green Road facility as a shelter anymore. As a point of public relations, we would like everyone to refer to it as the Green Road Adoption Center. I know it's wordy and seems kind of silly...but as you know...perception is everything. This is something simple we can ALL do to help improve the community's perception of what we do. Thanks!
~Boo Wow...well...WOW! What a fun day! Thanks to everyone who helped or participated! And thanks to the committee for making it all happen!
Every single volunteer in this group is amazing and you are all appreciated for the hard work you do for the animals!
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
