WoofStock 2006 - July 16th - Country Pines

"Who let the dogs out...?" We did at Woofstock 2006. It was quite a hot day, but that didn't stop many people from coming out to support the Humane Society on this brilliant July Sunday. With live bands, the arrival of the 'Hogs for the Dogs' Harley riders, the 'Little Zoo 4 You' with petting zoo and pony rides, the Humane Society animals and other pets visiting, raffles galore, casino games, and cash bar, there was no stopping the fun. The chicken dinners were excellent; we'll have to order more next year! Thanks to Manley's and Starbuck's for their support with food and cold water and drinks on such a hot day. And a big thank you to Country Pines for the great setting.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY'S first annual "Paws for A Cause" campaign was held May 13th through July 16th. MANLEY'S MIGHTY MART helped out the shelter by displaying paw prints with your names for a dollar or five-dollar donation.

Mother's Day Weekend Adoptathon - May 13th, 2006

We had a very successful adoptathon on Saturday, May 13th. A number of dogs and cats went to new homes - including Marbles, a lovely Flat-coated retriever mix, who had been longing for a home of his own for too long now! Thanks to the UMA Star committee for all their volunteers who made the day go much more smoothly - and also for adopting a few feline friends themselves !

For any volunteers that missed the Appreciation Party, we say "thank you" for all your efforts. You missed a nice event - with food and gifts for all participating volunteers. This event gave volunteers the change to meet others with similar interests, provide us with feedback on how to improve our volunteer program, and view some recently purchase training materials on animal behavior and assessment.

What an awesome party! If you missed our Casino Night on March 25th at the Knights of Columbus you'll just have catch one of our other events later in the year. (Can you say Woofstock? Keep tuned!) This year we had a great lineup of donated baskets raffled off, and a big crowed enjoyed listening to our DJ (courtesy of Rockin' Robin and her friend Cindy!) while enjoying various foods and drinks. Black jack and the big wheel were very popular as well as all the decorations with pictures of the animals we have helped over the years and those still in need. Many thanks to all who donated food, supplies, and entertainment, and thanks to staff and volunteers for all the hard work.

Turkey Raffle Saturday, November 12, 2005

This was the first time we tried this event, and those people who participated had a wonderful time both trying to win and winning turkeys! The event was held at The Remedy in Kirkwood. While originally scheduled for 7-10, it was too fun to quit that early, with Rockin' Robin kindly staying late to help us raise money for the shelter. Lots of good Karoake singers (and not so good!) made the evening an entertaining one.

Plane Rides - Saturday, October 29, 2005

Plane Rides had a rain delay this year, back one week from the original date of Sat., Oct. 22, 2005. So, we did not have the usual crowd we hoped for, but we had some loyal followers who managed to track down the date! People reported beautiful foilage and even spots of snow on the mountains! Thank you to all who made it to Triple Cities airport for the event and took advantage of the rides to take in scenery around our lovely area.
