2018 “PINS FOR PETS” BOWLING FUNDRAISER
What a day! Over $2600 was donated through the 106 bowlers who participated and those who stopped in to support the Washburn County Area Humane Society's “Pins for Pets” fundraiser on Saturday, April 28, at the Northwoods Lanes and Lounge in Spooner. Familiar and new bowlers, families, friends, old and young enjoyed this annual 9-Pin Tap bowling fundraiser. High series male and female and high game prizes were given, many raffle prizes were won, good snacks were served, and good fun was enjoyed. Community businesses donated prizes as did WCAHS volunteers who also provided food and help throughout the day. This year's event was in memory of Debbie Harrold and many came to honor her memory. Those neighbors, friends and relatives in attendance whose connections were especially close were her bowling team of many years, her Mom, her husband, Jim, and her sister-in-law, Jodi, who organized her large work group from WK Appliances. Among the many others filling up the Cosmic Bowling third shift were a large representation of DNR employees, many who also donate time helping at the shelter. The success of each WCAHS fundraiser not only is attributed to the generosity of everyone attending but also because the area news media is so generous to WCAHS with their assistance in spreading the word about Washburn County Area Humane Society news. The attendance at WCAHS events are the result of individuals reading or hearing about it through, not only the WCAHS website/Facebook pages, but the online or printed area newspapers and the local radio coverage.

MAY 2018 WCAHS SHELTER UPDATE
Here is a brief update on the progress being made at the new WCAHS shelter building. Outside cement areas have been poured, the epoxy floors for the dog and cat kennel areas will be completed next week. Volunteers will be putting a coat of fresh paint on the hallway walls and a few rooms that didn't get remodeled as well as finishing the hallway flooring. Inside windows go in and doors go on along with the trim around them. Work will need to be done on the outside play yards and kennels. Temporary Shelter at 930 N. Front St. in Spooner

Many people have been asking about our needs, both our everyday needs and our needs for when we move to the new building. As most of you know our shelter burned down in March and we lost just about everything - leashes, collars, medical items, bowls, toys, supplies, equipment. So we thought we would create an Amazon Wish List. We put together a list of everyday needs as well as items for the new building and we will be updating it. We tried to make it easy for those who would like to help out by giving a wide range of options and tried to keep them in some sort of order - please scroll through. Items can be shipping directly to the temporary shelter. There is an address on file with the list when you check out. THANK YOU to all of you for always being so supportive. Click on the Amazon wish list logo above to go to our wish list. |
