Great Dane Rescue of Northern California Inc.

 

2012 Fundraiser Event and Picnic

Sunday, June 3, 2012, 12 noon – 3:00 pm

Pena Adobe Regional Park. 1 Pena Adobe Road, Vacaville, CA 

Please join us for our annual fundraiser/get together.  Meet rescued Great Danes and the wonderful people who have adopted them and have an informal potluck picnic.    We have a very special raffle planned with many wonderful Great Dane and dog items available.  Our late co-founder, Betty Thomas,   left Rescue her collection of Dane statues and collectibles and a stained glass piece, as well as her last special pencil drawings of our breed.    We also have some cute costume jewelry Dane pieces from Wildfire Fusions, Jackie Mooney (Dane owner).    Teri White, professional animal photographer and our website guru will be there to take professional portraits of your Great Dane.  The overriding purpose of this event is to raise funds to keep us up and running in 2012 and beyond.  Any donations you can beg/wheedle/coerce from family/friends /co-workers would be greatly appreciated.  We will have a donation box at our check-in table for any donations you bring with you!

If you would like to participate in the potluck lunch, please bring a dish of your choice.  The potluck is a good chance to mingle with other Dane owners and eat good food!  This is a great chance to see many of the Great Danes that have come through Rescue and talk to other owners about your Dane experiences.  It is always a very fun event.  You do not have to own a Dane or have adopted from Rescue to attend this event.  All are welcome!  Mix-breeds too!

Bottled water will be provided for our Danes as well as drinks for humans.  Bring a chair and blanket for your Dane.  There is plenty of shade and no fee for parking.  Dogs must be leashed at all times, per park regulations.  There is a big dog park within walking distance, and in the past people have walked to this park after/during our event to let their dogs run free.

The City of Vacaville requires ALL ATTENDEES to fill out the waiver below.  All persons over 18 years must sign this form (husband AND wife, friends too).  You can mail this to us at GDRNC c/o 7691 Country Road, Loomis, CA 95650 or bring it with you the day of the event and turn it in at our “check-in” table.  Either way, please email Colleen at cleahy1955@yahoo.com to RSVP for this event.  It helps us plan on how many drinks/water, etc. to purchase.  We always look forward to this event and to seeing how happy and healthy the Danes we have placed throughout the years look.   This will be our first reunion since Betty Thomas passed on February 10th, so we would love to see a big turnout to honor her memory.
