Avoyelles Animal Welfare Society No-Kill Shelter

10/25/2011

We have had two fundraisers since the last post. The Walk-a-ton in September was very successful. A hundred people participated, some with their pets. Refreshments were served by the members, and a tour of the shelter made a huge impression on the visitors. The Cake Sale was this past Saturday, and it was a sellout. We will continue to have fundraisers. Look for a grand opening on January 1st!!!! The Society attended last month's Police Jury meeting. Our President, Chris Burke gave a brief presentation to the Jury and requested support from them. On a motion of one of the members, the PJ President appointed a committee to meet with us to formulate a contractual bid for financial support in the coming year. Wish us success?!!!! My thanks to our volunteer members and our supporters!

Things are happening at the shelter! We are buying equipment slowly but steadily as we raise money. We have a Walk-a-Thon scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24th.

Very good meeting last night! The members of AAWS were greatly gratified to learn of the 100% support of the Parish Town Mayors. We look forward to meeting with the Town Council to convince them to support our efforts in completing our no-kill shelter and putting it into operation. Please help us! Let the Town Council of Avoyelles Parish know how important this effort is!
