PAWS Annual Dinner Dance and Auction

The annual Dinner, Dance and Silent Auction hosted November 17, 2007
by Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society is over for another year and hardworking PAWS volunteers' sights are already being set on next year's event. But first we want to extend a gigantic THANK YOU! to everyone who helped make this year's event the best ever. Tickets to the gala were sold out days before the big night! Donations for the Silent Auction and the door prizes were awesome!

With over 200 items received there just isn't enough space to print the names of all the wonderfully supportive businesses and individuals in the Creston Valley and beyond who so generously donated their merchandise, trades and talent.

Your support has helped us move a major step closer to completing Claudia's Place Animal Shelter, with a net gain of over $9,500.00!!!

 

Thank you, Thank you everyone for your ongoing support and care for
the homeless animals in our Valley.
