As you may know, this Sunday (the 29th) we are having our first volunteer meeting to discuss some fundraisers we hope to accomplish over the year. One of the main ones we were thinking about included a large adoption convention - including a couple of other rescue groups from around the area.
We are going to need a lot of volunteer resources, budgets and much more to plan this out. Luckily, for the first time ever, we are planning this event with other local and experienced rescue groups.
We're hoping to make this event similar to the Bark-B-Que held in Jefferson City last year - with lots of vendors, food, training demos and, of course, adoptable dogs and cats. Any vendors are welcome to come offer their services - booth prices have not yet been stabilized (we may or may not discuss the issue at this Sunday's meeting.) Anybody with pet-related services or projects are welcome to contact us to book a booth.
-Dog treats
-Cat/dog toys
-Pet supplies
-Pet photographers
-K-9 training demos
We're hoping to book as many people as possible to make this event a success - and hopefully an annual event. We will need a lot of publication (newspapers, radio ads, etc.) to help spread the word.
If you're in the area, and are interested in attending this Sunday's meeting - it is held at the Days Inn & Suites hotel in St. James, MO. We will begin at 5 and the meeting should last no longer than an hour or so. Sign up here to become a volunteer.
Be sure to "like" the shelter's Facebook page as well!
