Rummage For Rescue! MSRH Donations Benefit MSRH!

         

Just a week after our 2008 Annual Fall Garage Sale in Katy (see other post in this section), is the “Rummage for Rescue” sale organized by The Woodlands Dog Park Club.  MSRH will have one of ten Rescue Organization tables and we need your donations (and time!) at this sale too!  Maybe the Katy sale will be a bit too far from you.  Or better, maybe you have the energy to clean out even more closets and can support both garage / rummage sale events!  All proceeds generated from our donations go to MSRH!  If you have any questions, please contact Karen at houstonschnauzerrescue@yahoo.com  She can provide you all the specifics.  Here’s the snapshot:

When:  Saturday, October 25;  7:00 a.m. till 1:00 p.m.  (Site MUST be set-up by 6:45 a.m.  No late entries!

Please take this opportunity to view our web site and download an exhibitor form for participation.   The web site is:  www.kingwoodbarktoberfest.com   This year’s chairperson is Paula Tolbert.
