Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2006Fundraiser is Shaping Up-Suggestions /Welcome!
I am getting so excited about the "Bark in the Park" type fundraiser we're having in Oct. It is shaping up so well I have a renewed faith in people for all the support so far. My booth, of course, is the "Purrfect Pet Cat Photo Contest.". I went to a carpet store and got donated a *beautiful* peice of carpet and DH is making the most awesome cat tree I've ever seen. It is a combo cat tree-condo-activity center. The floor level is a turbo scratcher, there are danglies all over (fixed with snaps so they are break=away). Three perches, highest is over 6 feet, a little house, and a ladder. Two sisal posts for scratching. Boots of course thinks it is for her. Total cost of the cat tree so far has been less than $25 + turbo scratcher & danglies. . He's making a smaller one to raffle off also. Other activities for the d-pet people are: A walk-a-thon; a professional photographer for d-pet pictures; personalized pet tags; food booth; home-made pet treat booth; 5-minute massages; raffles; a "Bark Boutique" and "Meow Mart" for shopping; onsite adoption area. Contests for "looks most like owner", "best dressed", etc. and microchipping. I am so pumped about this. Everyone is donating all proceeds to the H.S. If the weather/attendance is good, I think it has the potential to bring in a lot of revenue. Wish us luck. Sherry Best of luck! It sounds as though it's going to be great.

And take pictures! Ooo. I just re-read my post and it sounds awfully boastful. I didn't mean to come off that way; I am just so excited. My part is just the cat photo contest. And yes, I can't wait till the cat tree is finished so I can show you all a picture. Right now all it is, is a carpeted base with 3 posts sticking up! (the cats are still all over it though.

You've put a lot of yourself into the success of this event and it sounds like it is going to be wonderful. Can't wait to see the pictures. When we went out of town the weekend Selena crossed the bridge our catsitter brought a toy for the cats because she knew they would be feeling the loss. It appeared to be a simple sock with catnip inside and tied in a knot at the open end. It made me think of you and the fundraiser. I was thinking a white, child's sock, decorated with a cat stamp. It would probably cost less than 50 cents and could be sold for $1. I know our cats *loved* it....too much unfortunately, Barnabus ate a hole in it and it had to be thrown away. Good luck and take lots of pictures. Julie, Hobbes, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus >Ooo. I just re-read my post and it sounds awfully boastful. I didn't >mean to come off that way; I am just so excited.

Nothing wrong with being proud of your work, or that of your loved ones. In fact, it's very healthy.

Can you advertise that the entries will be posted online on your HS site? They'd probably like that! Best wishes for a very successful fundraiser. SignatureCheryl |
