Animal Welfare Alliance Calendar of Events 2008!

AN EVENING RECEPTION AND ART EXHIBIT was held October 10, 2008 in the Black River Art Gallery , at the corner of Vine and Fifth Streets in downtown Poplar Bluff . Wildlife and animal art by several area artists was on exhibit and selected items were for sale along with an auction of artwork and other animal related items.

We are on away to being able to really help the animals at our Poplar Bluff City Shelter.

Many thanks to all the folks who helped us launch the Animal Welfare Alliance with a very successful fund raising reception, art exhibit and auction last month.
We were thrilled by the turnout of more than 115 guests. Even more amazing and gratifying was the level of financial support. Combining ticket sales, outright donations and the auction, we netted more than $3,500 after expenses!
Janet Brown provided the perfect setting at her Black River Art Gallery. Bluff City Beer Co., Kohlfeld Distributing Inc. and Luecke Distributing Co. all helped out with beverages. Jerry Hillis graciously stepped in at the last minute as auctioneer; and a number of artists, individuals and businesses donated auction items, including Kathy Dickson, Laura Clark, Gary Stiber, David Johnson, PrimeTime Rentals and Pretty As A Picture. The Scott-Walker Eatery did its usual spectacular job with refreshments; thanks, too, to Lynda Carter for her bartending talents.
We soon will be announcing a volunteer effort to help the city improve the adoption rate of dogs and cats in its shelter. Watch the newspaper for announcements of our activities, or visit our Website, www.awasemo.org, for updates or to sign up as a volunteer.

Sincerely,
