Havanese Club of America

FROM KATHY AMBLER…….AUCTION/RAFFLE CHAIR

The Auction and Raffle items are starting to come in….We have several really nice items now.  Some of the bigger items are:  a dog carrier from Jane Hohne, an I-Go Pet carrier back pack from Paula Perlmutter,  a SUPER PetEdge Agility Set from anonymous, a Full Set of the Havanese Yearbooks from Natalie Armitage, a Steve Guitron Collar and Lead valued at $100,  a Grooming Table, a Grooming Bag filled with #1 All Systems Grooming supplies,  TNT and Dog News subscriptions. 

To make this raffle/auction a success, of course,  we  need MORE MORE, MORE!  Remember last year how much fun it was to have all that wonderful stuff to bid on and all those great raffle items???  Let’s make the Auction/Raffle of 2010 even bigger and better!  It’s easy to pick up small stuff from vendors at shows and these things can either be mailed to Dawn Matheson at  22 S. Green Ct., Larkspur, CA 94939 or  to Kristine Oden at 12750 La Honda Road  Woodside, CA  94062. 

How about checking out eBay, www.petedge.com, www.cafepress.com, www.vistaprint.com.  Even www.walmart.com   If you order from any of these online businesses, you can have your items shipped directly to the gals in California and that makes it REALLY easy!!    I’m not soliciting for these companies, but they are just examples for you to think about!! 

 

Even if you’re not quite sure what you’re going to send, but know you will be sending or bringing something with you, let me know.  Then when you find that perfect item to donate, you can tell me what it is.  When you find that perfect item, please let me know what it is so I can add it to our list, we definitely want to make sure we have enough room at the dinner to put everything out on display!

 

I’m getting excited about going to California, seeing friends I only get to see once a year, seeing all the beautiful Havanese we have out around the nation and from other countries as well…..and of course some sunshine would be awesome too!    How about you???

 

See you all soon!!
