How long do you want this to last? The longer it is the more shift that will be need.
We Need date and time set ASAP. so we can make contacts.
Remember to forward the link to other adoption groups that might like to come.
Below are ideals we can do. If you like to do one or more of these activities, let me know (first come). If you would like to contact local vet and to see if they would set up a table...let me know and go for it.
Pit Rescue is, so far, open for the months of Sept & Oct. I am trying to tie in Missouri Alliance for Animal Legislature (MAAL) and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification with any activities I plan.
Parks & Rec did have a Sept. date for their Canine Swim at Capaha Pool. I've already thrown away the paper and their website isn't working right, so I don't have that date.

Humane Society has the following already scheduled, Saturday Sept 26th Bark in the Park, Saturday Oct. 10th Downtown Canine Fashion show and Saturday Oct 17th Bark at the Bank.

Greetings!
We had a lightning strike out here this morning :( but no damage I can yet
see. Talk about the wrath of God!
I would suggest September 19 or Oct. 3 - either
way, we could capitalize on the public awareness that all this HSSEMO
fundraising is basically for adopting pets. Perhaps Melanie could have a CGC demonstation of the test w/a very good dog (not Spanky - the scamp).
Each already planned and in-planning venue could have flyers of the Adoption
Carnival, the HSSEMO events and the ongoing efforts on behalf of the rescue CGC program (SHAS, Silverwalk Hounds and HSSEMO have all had dogs in the CGC
class)....thus we would all piggyback off of and support one aother; would
be a great tool to demonstrate the cooperation between local
shelters/rescues/training as well as our commercial sponsor, Petco.
Peace & blessings,

Scott city Women's Club
local petting zoo
know of a band
How about Saturday September 19...it is five days before autumn begins...the new moon is a day before and its Rosh Hashanah. What can go wrong?!?! AND it will not RAIN.....and it is the last day of the semo fair...will you have any money left???
Rollin, Sounds like you
have a lot of great ideas. We used a local petting zoo once at the shop and
he did not charge only asked for extra food for animals and water - I am
sure he had insurance. I will find out for you. I also know of a band that
may play pretty pretty cheap.....I will find out about that too. What did
you have in mind for the Women's club to do? Set up our own booth and make
money for the adoptions or just help out where we can? As far as dates, I
do not think we have anything going on in Sept or Oct. as of right now.
p.s. I meant to ask you how your
santa
pictures went this year? Did you do them at Petco - I never heard? I am
interested in helping with the adoption and I know there will be several
other members that will want to help.... Thanks, Shannon
This is my thinking on this, One, if we are going to have water...then it needs to be warm. Two, it would be great if we can reach out to kids...best way to do this is have kids already in school...so we can reach them more effetely. Adults can be target through groom shops, dog food lanes at pet stores, and their local vets.
So we can pick a Saturday or Sunday from the time kids start school and before the fair starts if we want to do water events in this. If not then we need to choose a later date....if so that could leave HS out because they have other events. Petco has the HOWL-O-WEEN event the last Saturday in October---WHICH I WILL HAVE TO ASK A ADOPTION PARTNER TO HOST AND TAKE PICTURES.
also, we also need to be looking at Park's calendar to make sure there's no other booking.
the Time Marilyn posted is ok?
Once we can decide on a date...this can start moving forward.
