Hi, Everyone,
This past month, we have had two very successful fund-raisers. One was at Dollar General Market on Canton Rd. in Carrollton, Oh.. We sold hot dogs, cat and dog items we have purchased, emergency pet signs for windows and doors, handed out literature on our organization, showed picture of the land we purchased July, 1st, and encouraged people to join us. We almost made enough for our loan payment!
The second fund-raisers was at the Dellroy Market in Dellroy, Oh. We sold dog and cat items, homemade dog biscuits (made and donated by member Nadine F.), pet emergency signs, delicious home-made baked goods (made by member Rose Marie M.), had a 50/50 raffle ticket sales, took in generous donations, and talked to and gave out literature about us to many people! Wow! What a great day we had! Thanks to all the caring volunteers who worked their shifts at both of these fund-raising events. Our efforts paid off!
Chairperson, Amy, is currently getting the CCAPL cookbook details finalized and sent in to Morris Press. Hopefully within 30 days, we will get the proof back, go over it, and get it published. They will sell for $10.00. If anyone is interested in ordering one, let us know. I think the shipping for one cookbook is $2.00. More will be posted on our website soon. We thank all the people who submitted some really interesting and delicious recipes!
Hettler Engineering is still working on the "site plans." We have to choose one and then it is sent into the EPA for approval. They inturn will tell us where the driveway entrance will have to be placed in conjunction with the animal shelter, and then we wait for their approval. All these things take time, and in the meantime, we keep plugging along!
Take care, and check back for updates as we get them!
Best regards,
Eileen Rohrer, CCAPL President
