Hi friends!
 
Apologies to those of you who've already received this email, but I wanted to forward along an invite for an awesome fundraiser playing BINGO for a great cause.  Next Sunday, October 9, at noon, hundreds of people are getting together to play BINGO at the SJPST Lodge (around the Heights) to raise money for the Berry children.  The three children lost their parents in a car accident over this past July 4th weekend, and two of the children were also paralyzed from the waist down.  The community has really rallied to support these children, but we still need your help! 
 
The cost to play is only $15 and it goes 100% to the children's trust (Register online HERE http://bit.ly/bingo4theberrys to pay $15 today, otherwise $20 at the door).  This covers an afternoon of BINGO with amazing raffle prizes!  The Lodge will also be selling beer/wine as well as soda/water, and the event is also BYOB (for non-oped bottles of wine and liquor), as well as food!  There will be TWO local food trucks on site (Zillas Street Eats and Eatsie Boys Ice Cream) .
 
Please come and make an afternoon of it with food, drinks, games, and prizes - all while supporting a great cause.  And please forward this on to others!!!
 
Hope to see you there!!!
 
-Jeanie

We need your participation to continue the ongoing success of our largest volunteer fundraiser of the year. It's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun too, so please email our volunteer coordinator to volunteer today!
 

 
 

The festival takes place on Saturday, October 8 and Sunday, October 9, in downtown Houston (around City Hall). It runs from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on both days. Volunteers can sign up for one or more shifts. Volunteers must be 18 or above because alcoholic beverages are served. Please be aware that no drinking of alcoholic beverages is allowed during your shift.

Here are the shifts available:
 

 
 

Saturday, October 8, 2011

10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

To volunteer, please email our volunteer coordinator at volunteer@snapus.org or call Monday - Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m at 713-862-3863 x206. Be ready to tell us which shift(s) you would like to work. Each volunteer receives a festival t-shirt and is asked to wear it during his or her shift. You also receive FREE admission to the festival (a $12 value) on the day of your shift.
 

 

 

Please volunteer today to help prevent the suffering and death of dogs and cats due to overpopulation and preventable diseases. The animals can say it, so we will say it for them:

THANK YOU FOR CARING!
