Meet the Breeds to benefit the Four Legged Food Drive
Bob Evans Moon Twp.
Oct 10, 2009

Who would have thought that a small idea of holding a Meet the Breeds would escalate into such a successful event? Dee wanted to hold an event at the Bob Evans where she is General manager. Judy picked up a flier at her job about an organization holding a Four Legged Food Drive....and the whole event idea just took off! The day was sunny and pleasant. Coleen was able to round up some different breeds we have not had at one of our Meet the Breed days. Along with our Irish ( Creed, Wagner, Callie, Bea, Journey, Dewey and Willie), we had the Spinone, Great Dane, English Cocker, pointer, golden retriever, scot terrier, Corgi and a Glen of Imaal terrier.

We raffled off several baskets and dogs beds, pumpkins, both small and HUGE, that Lisa painted faces on, fall centerpieces that Lisa's mom made and donated...just a lot of beautiful and fun fall items! The local fire department came and went over safety and the care of fire extinguishers. We took photos with the dogs..some guests having their photo taken with a "breed of choice". Bob Evans donated a free dessert to everyone who gave a donation of any kind.

By the end of our day, we collected over 2013 lbs. of pet food, making this fund raiser for a charity by far, the most successful we have done. The food was delivered to Camp Bow Wow and Sherry Johnson, an advocate for Best Friends. Sherry was taking the food to Ella's Pet Pantry to be distributed to those in need.

GTISC thanks everyone involved that helped to organize our event in advance and those who came and spent the day. We ended our day with dinner at Bob Evans......THANK YOU!
