Taste of Suwanee

For the first time ever, the Humane Society Club had a booth at Taste of Suwanee. Our club this year has grown from a small 10 members last year to over 50 members this year. Because of our numbers, we have some serious potential to raise some major money for local animal rescue groups this year. We also are doing some awesome volunteer activities to help all kinds of animals in need.

Our concept for year's event (which features restaurants from all over the area and is sponsored by the school) was to treat your pet as well, since you are getting some great food. The students all baked a couple dozen dog treats, in all flavors and we hosted a "Bulldog Bone Buffet". As you can see from our colorful tent, the buffet was set up at the table in the front and for 5 tickets, patrons would receive a ziplock bag to fill with treats of their choice.

We also partnered up with the local SPCA and they brought over 3 dogs for adoption. Two were incredibly cute puppies, and one was an adult chihuahua. However, sadly, in the end none of them were adopted. However, the SPCA got a lot of publicity as we were very popular because we had puppies! :)

All in all a very successful day! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who came out and worked the event, baked treats, or helped with the posters! Don't forget to bring your community service logs by for me to sign!
