Call for help from GREYHOUND CROSS ROADS

I received a request from Allyson of Greyhound Cross Roads about their event in September called "Beach Bound Hounds". Part of their 4 day event is a silent auction and she is looking for donations. She is an Etsy person also and Greyhound Cross Roads is an adoption/rescue/foster program for greyhounds in North and South Carolina and Georgia. Being an animal lover and having done foster and rescue work myself I know how rewarding (and frustrating) it can be, trying to get people involved. She is having a little difficulty getting donations this year because of the economy so if we, as a team, could help her out that would be wonderful. Your company name and web site will be added to their web site and your info will be included in 500 welcome bags. The donations are also tax deductible. So not only will you be helping animals, you will get your shop out there.

Her name and address for donations is:
Allyson Binnicker
131 Reserve Dr.
Piedmont, SC 29673

The web site is greyhoundcrossroads.com and the event dates are September 23 - 26th.

On a different note, we have 19 listings in our team shop. Thanks to all of you who have donated. I'm always ready for more! Looking forward to meeting a lot of you on the mountain.

This sounds like a great opportunity!
Does she have an email address that we can contact her at?

What a wonderful organization, we here at Ametista are huge animal lovers as well. We definitely will donate an item for the auction. So do we just mail it to the address in the posting before that date or is there a deadline date (other than Sept. 23) to get your item to them?

Thanks for sharing this information.

Bright blessings,

Wonderful guys - She didn't give a deadline date but let me contact her and get the e-mail address (all I have is the etsy convo) and I'll post it here.

Okay - Allyson's e-mail is gvillegal@charter.net. She will be heading to the event on September 21st so you need to get your items to her before that. Feel free to e-mail her if you have any questions I didn't cover.
