4th Annual Fun and Games Day

Rake n’ Scrape Site

We held our fundraiser on Saturday, February 27th. This is the only event held during the year to aid with the projects we sponsor.

The turnout was good despite the cold weather and, once again, we were financially successful. A good time was had by all attending. Gabi and her crew from Shanna are to be heartily thanked and appreciated for all the work it takes cleaning and setting up the site.

Tara, Anthonese & Carla worked a long day at the Hoopla table which was very popular. Donna ran the dominoes …Stanley the basketball and Dave the pool tournaments. All first place tournament winners went home with flat-screen TVs.

We were able to give away five dog houses with a drawing, allowing more dogs on the island shelter. The school children did a great job building and painting them.

Leslie, Miriam & Toni “womanned” the raffle booth, selling tickets, t-shirts and collecting donations.

Danny emceed and sent 26 prizes home with raffle winners. The live auction raised a nice amount.

Patti, Gabi, Jan & Hannah were kept very busy in the bar and ticket booth. Jan gets a kick out of the children coming with their crumpled dollars for Hoopla.

A highlight of the day was the children’s games with prizes conducted by Kay. No one does it better.

Once again, we heartily thank all the volunteers who gave of their time so generously and without whom this event would not be possible. GREAT JOB GABI!!

Save the Date: Saturday, Feb. 27 2016 is the humane society’s major fundraiser, the Annual Fun Day. More details to follow.

On February 28, 2015 we held our Second Annual Fun Day.  The group effort led by Gabi was a tremendous success.  Leslie, Miriam and Toni were selling raffle tickets and tee-shirts while Jan was in the ticket booth and Gabi and Patti handled the bar.

The games .. dominoes with Donna.. pool with Dave .. basketball with Stanley .. were very successful and fun for all.  Great prizes such as TVs,  cameras and tablets seem to be a strong incentive to win !!

Kay was, as usual, wonderful leading the children in having a great deal of fun.  There were prizes for them as well.

Thank you goes to the Shannas Cove ladies for manning the hoop-la tables which everyone enjoys so much.  Jan especially loved all the little ones who could barely see over the counter coming back time and again for more tickets.  Thanks also go to Rod and gang for all the help in setting up.

Our President, Danny King, was a fine MC announcing the raffle drawing and entertainment.

This year we want to express our appreciation to Andrew Jones, Ancient Man and Anderson for very generously donating their time for our live entertainment enjoyment.  Thanks also to Jurique Russell for being DJ for the event.

To all our friends who, once again, donated all the raffle prizes and hoop-la items:  we cannot begin to express our appreciation.  For without your generosity, none of this would have been possible.  It was a FUN day as well as financially successful allowing us to continue with our community projects in the coming year.
