Please make your check payable to The Queenie Foundation, Inc. and call 860.649.4488 or write queeniefound@hotmail.com for the mailing address. Bring your volunteers, family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. We also encourage you to post this event on your website and list it in your newsletter. We will hold an interfaith Blessing of the Animals at 6:00. A candlelight remembrance will conclude the event followed by the raffle drawings at 7:30. We will inform you of updates on speakers and other details as they are available.
Please RSVP to queeniefound@hotmail.com whether or not you will attend. This is an event to inform the public about the tragedy of animal overpopulation, specifically dogs and cats, and that spay/neuter is the solution, however, it can apply to any species, such as rabbits, horses, farm animals and wildlife.
We invite you to wear your organization T-shirt, display your banner, put out your donation jar and fundraisers, bring your literature, sign people up on your mailing list, make appointments with prospective adopters and invite
the public to volunteer with your organization. This year for the first time, we invite you to bring some of your adoptable animals to introduce to the public. However, this is not an adoption event; it’s specifically to show your fosters. Bring the necessary paperwork so that you can start screening prospective adopters. Please make sure all animals are sterilized and current on vaccinations. No organization will be allowed to participate with unsterilized animals.
I look forward to meeting everyone who did not attend last year and seeing all of you again who did. It is my aspiration, as it is every year, that International Homeless Animals’ Day will be a thing of the past in the very near future; we can’t do this without everyone’s participation and informing the public that spay/neuter stops the killing.
