New Totals!

We have our new totals!! As of September 18, 2008, we now have $350 towards our $11,000 goal! That’s an amazing jump from the $60 just 14 days before! Thanks so much for those donations! Please keep them coming!

Our hot dog dinner/auction is scheduled for October 25th from 4 – 8 PM at Woodmen of the World on Hwy. 9 in Boiling Springs. We will have hot dog dinners for $5 for adults and $3 for kids ages 3-10. Adults will receive 2 hot dogs, chips and a drink; children will receive 1 hot dog, chips and a drink. We will have individual baked goods for $1 each also. The silent auction will begin at 4 PM and end at 6 PM. We will also sell raffle tickets 1 for $1 or 6 for $5 for various items and gift certificates. We are still in need of many donations for our raffles and silent auction. If any of you creative minds out there would like to make a “themed” basket (ex: Christmas, Spa, Movie, etc.) to donate for the auction please feel free to contact me. Also, if anyone wants to donate baked goods that would be great too! Remember all donations are tax deductible!!

Just to add a sweet story about Noah: Noah is always asking how everyone and everything is doing. Every day he asks how I did at home, daddy did at work, me-maw did today, and even how me-maws dogs are doing! It’s so sweet!! Well just yesterday, out of the blue, Noah asked how his Special Dog was doing. (Noah doesn’t understand that his dog has not been chosen yet and that we won’t know what dog he is getting until right before we go for our 2 week training session) I told him his special dog was doing great and working really hard on learning how to be his special dog. He wanted to know how the people are doing who are taking care of his dog too. I told him they are all doing great! I thought it was so sweet that he wanted to know that who ever is taking care of his doggy is doing well! Noah has such an innocence about him! I just love it!! He just wants everyone to be happy and every one to be OK!!

Thanks again for all the ones who have already made donations to help bring Noah’s special dog home! Also, Thanks to those who have promised to send donations soon!! I pray that number just keeps growing!!

I have been out in full force visiting many different businesses asking for donations for 4 Paws and for our sale and auction in October. If you know of any places or if you would like to donate and item or food, please contact me ASAP. I have already received many donations for the auction and the hot dog sale but need many, many more!! No offer is too small! Remember all donations (even for the auction and sale) are tax deductible. All proceeds will go directly to 4 Paws for Ability and Noah will receive credit towards our $11,000 goal to bring his new fur-ever friend home!
