A Great Week For Fundraising!

Thanks to all the hard work of volunteers, the ACHS has had some great fundraising success this week!

The Mom's Weekend Bake Sale made a total of $675.27, including food, t-shirt, Rufus photos, and catnip sales!! A special thank you goes out to Julie Tatge, Jane Smith and Char Rae who organized the event and worked ALL DAY in order to help make this sale a success. The photos with Rufus were another great addition to the day -- thanks Char!

There was also a great turnout at today's Puppy Palooza event -- over $500 dollars was raised for the dog adoption program! Luckily we had good weather, so dogs and owners alike had a chance to get outside and have a great time. Another special thanks goes out to the OU Coms 405 class that helped organize the event.

Awesome job everyone!! Stay tuned for more ACHS activity!

Puppy Palooza!

On Tuesday, May 5, ACHS will be hosting Puppy Palooza, an outdoor festival complete with music, food, and, of course, puppies! Bring your canine friend along to the Howard Hall Park site (right next to Voigt Hall) from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to enjoy games -- including a dog oriented 'Simon Says' -- Cold Stone Creamery ice cream and other refreshments, and raffles! Prizes include a Cincinnati Reds autographed 2008 team ball, an opportunity for free Cold Stone for a year, local business merchandise, and a free pet portrait.

All proceeds go to the ACHS, so your fun in the sun will not only be a chance to bond with your pet, but also an opportunity to give back! ACHS t-shirts will also be available for $12, so you can show your support for the society all year round.

Puppy Palooza is a great way to kick of spring, and what better way to enjoy it than with your favorite canine friend?

** If it happens to rain tomorrow, the festival will be postponed until May 7 **
