| Last
year it was The Year Of The Dog and this year we're paying homage to The
Fifties with "The Golden Oldies"! Put on your dancing shoes and
join us as we celebrate Homeward Bound's seventh annual premier fundraiser
in toe-tapping style! We have a number of surprises in store, in addition
to delicious food, great wine and beer, silent auction and live auction,
classic award-winning cars, and lots of Golden Retrievers! The locale will
again be the Riverwood Estate, thanks to the generosity of Doug Alcorn
(Kibble & Bids Co-chair) and John White, the property's Golden-loving
owners and Homeward Bound adopters of Buddy & Holly.
Thanks to you, we met our financial goal of
$100,000 last year and all dollars were devoted to the hundreds of Golden
Retrievers that crossed our doorstep and the continued development and
maintenance of Homeward Bound's Adoption Center and Sanctuary. Did you
know that Homeward Bound is only one of three non-profit golden retriever
rescue organizations nationwide with a sanctuary? Knowing the demands
never decrease, we're aiming for $150,000 this year and, with your help,
we'll achieve it! Your support translates into funds for routine
veterinary care, non-routine surgeries of all kinds, heartworm treatment,
medications, food, treats, and "lodging"!
We invite you to attend Kibble & Bids
"The Golden Oldies" (Guests are encourage
to wear 50's attire!) on Saturday, September 8, 2007.
Enjoy
pictures from last years Kibble & Bids - Year Of The Dog event!
Planning for Kibble & Bids 2007 is
underway, and we also welcome your help and support! |
