(No pun intended)
June 2009
Well….Pug Angel volunteers have had three incredibly successful trade shows, Barks by the Bay in Trenton, Barkham in Markham and of course, Woofstock. The other events we will be doing during the summer are Gay Pride, Niagara Dogfest and Todmorden Mills.
Unfortunately, because of the economy, both the Sportsmen Show and All About Pets, were sparsely attended this year. Hopefully, there will be a turnaround for these shows.
We have been adding to our “items for sale” list and our new tote bags, t-shirts and bracelets are all selling well. The favorite item seems to be our tote bags where for a mere $6.00, dog lovers can make a statement just by carrying one of our bags indicating they are against puppy mills and are environmentally concerned as well.
In addition, to Tejas Animal Refuge, we have added two new rescue organizations to support with our donated funds. Details will be posted shortly.
Once again, we are busily thinking of new ideas to raise funds. Our next fundraiser will not be until April and the theme will be Songkran or Thai New Year. During Songkran, the celebrations include lots of water spraying, but it is really a fun time …… I know I have been sprayed more than once.
