Upscale Clothing Sale
A preview of the clothing sale before the event - thanks to all the volunteers who helped set things up so nicely
It was a resounding success - $2000 was raised for the Adoption Center!
Our gratitude and sincere thanks goes to St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church for hosting this event for the Humane Society. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped collect items, take them to the sale, and set up everything, as well as work the day of the event. Thanks to the volunteers who manned our pet adoption booth, as that was successful, too! This shows what great partnering can do - thanks very, very much!
