Paws 4 Cause Charity Drop Off

My Charity Drop off was held today at the Cass Road Baptist Church from 10-5pm. It was a success in collecting prom dresses!
We will continue to collect old and fairly new prom dresses, books and other clothing items between now and September 25th, so if you have any items you would like to donate please contact me and I will arrange for a pick up.

The Paws for Cause Charity Benefit will be held at the Cass Road Baptist Church on Saturday, September 25 from 11am-5pm. More to come on that Charity even soon. But for a peek....there will be vendors, food, face painting and animal shape balloons for kids, vendor basket raffles, Ohio State quilt raffle, and special raffle for every canned or staple food item brought to the benefit and donated to the church food pantry. There will be entertainment, a fashion show of the prom dresses and guest appearances to be announced later. All proceeds from the Charity event will benefit the Children's Miracle Network, Toledo Area Humane Society and American cancer Society.

What's Up.........

Hello, sorry I haven't blogged in awhile but I have been very busy..... I enjoyed my few days away at Miss Ohio week competitions. It was really exciting watching the preliminary level and then being there for crowning our new Miss Ohio 2010 - Becky Minger. Congrats Becky you were so awesome all week! Also, Congrats to 1st RU Shannon O'Neill and 2nd RU - Marisa Buchheit, my Miss Maple City team!!! I'm so happy for you and so proud!! We, mom and I spent the week with friends in Columbus, Carrie and Eric which was a lot of fun, thanks guys!!

Well for most people, school has been out but not for me. I am taking summer classes this year Calculus 1 & 2. So, I just finished my first summer session of Calc 1 and now starting the second session of Calc 2 which will be over the first week of August. Just in time for Band camp to start at U of Toledo Rocket Marching Band. I am Section Leader for the Piccolo section so I will be busy this fall.

As for now, I am working this summer at Steak & Shake restaurant, trying to make as much money as I can before school starts because with school, marching band, and Kappa Kappa Psi I probably won't have time to do to much of anything else. Chemistry and Biology consume my life and free time does not exist because it is usually spent studying and studying and then more studying. I was elected Historian for Kappa Kappa Psi so I have to document everything the Fraternity does and scrapbook all the events by taking pictures etc. so that's going to keep me busy too.

In addition to work and school, I have been working on a fund raising Benefit for charity that hopefully will be all put together real soon. Plus, this is the month I will be doing an internship with the Toledo Humane Society, teaching at Summer camps for kids about being responsible pet owners which follows along with my Platform for Miss Ohio. So excited and can't wait!!

Bark in the Park Fundraiser!!

The fundraiser was a success! I enjoyed being the official photographer for the dog contest. Some pics to follow. Several dogs and cats were adopted that day which is always a bonus!

Bark in the Park

Show off your favorite furry friend while supporting the homeless animals of the Toledo Area Humane Society.

The Bark in the Park is a fun event for everyone in the family, including your four-legged friends! Activities include a 1.5 mile journey around Arrowhead Park, music, food, vendor displays, raffles, festival style games, animal contests, demonstrations and more.

Help raise money for the animals of TAHS by collecting pledges for your walk time. Prizes will be given to the top individual pledge raiser and the two top walk teams. A special prize will also be given to the "Top Tot", a junior walker age 12 or under, who raises the most money in pledges. All walkers will receive a commemorative t-shirt for their participation in the event.

Be sure to join in our exciting dog contest including:

Most unusual looking dog
Looks most like its owner
Biggest party pooper
The most misbehaved
Sloppiest kisser
If your favorite furry friend doesn't happen to be a canine, you can still join in the fun. Why not try pinning a picture of your cat, bird, hamster, horse or rabbit to the front of your walk shirt and show that you are a proud pet owner!

Mama has been missing since last week :((

Well since last Tuesday, mama kitty has disappeared. She ran into the neighbors shrubs last week when the TAHS officer and mom tried to catch her to get her medical attention and since then has wandered elsewhere and we have not seen her. :(( She has either found another place to settle into with food, water and shelter or she was so sick she curled up somewhere and died. We miss seeing her around!! :((

First Annual PETS/CMN Charity Benefit

My first annual PETS/CMN Charity Benefit planning is underway. A date has not been set yet, but plans are being made to host the first annual event late this summer or early fall.

If you would like to get involved please let me know. I am looking for donations for gift baskets to raffle off. Any craft projects, products or treasures you wish to donate is greatly appreciated. All gift baskets will be displayed the day of the benefit as well as be listed on this website before the event. The more who participate the more money that can be raised the better for CMN and TAHS.

Looking for anyone who is willing to crochet, knit, quilt or fleece blankets for babies, children, teens and Pets for charity. A few Quilts will be either raffled or silent auctioned. I will also post pictures on this website prior to the charity event of the items to be raffled off. The blankets will be donated to local children hospitals and blankets for pets to the Toledo Area Humane Society. All proceeds from the benefit will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network and Toledo Area Humane Society. Would like to have over 100 blankets by the time of the Charity event, so if you would like to make one or more and donate please let me know. Currently I have about 10 crocheted blankets. Pics to follow of blankets and items as I receive them.

Check back later as more plans are finalized and details are available. This event is sponsored by Jessica Nelson.
