Putting together this auction has been similar to the way I like to celebrate my birthday – it goes on and on and I’m always getting surprise packages.
I have learned how people reach out in generosity to help. A case in point: Just as we were wrapping up the auction details and getting everything ready to go, I received a generous offer from Nancy Sundeen at PillowGram.net. She wanted to donate two of her pillows for the auction.
Not being one to say no to either generosity or synchronicity, I gladly accepted Nancy’s offer and set out to find local celebrities to sign her pillows. I decided to start at the top, with Governor ‘Paw’lenty. His office appreciated the offer, but declined on the basis if they do it for one they would need to do it for all.
I continued on my treasure hunt for local celebrity signatures, and ended up with so many willing celebs, I had to call Nancy and ask if she would be willing to donate another pillow!
Are you ready for the local celebs who stepped up to help the animals at the Buffalo site of the Animal Humane Society? This gorgeous ‘I Love My Cat Pillow‘ was signed by some of the on-air personalities at KARE 11 TV: Diana Pierce, Julie Nelson Sven Sundgaard and Pat Evans.
This pillow was signed by Katie K9, Hugo, MN dog trainer and radio talk show host
on 107.1 FM. Imagine my delight as I was driving down the road the other afternoon listening to Kati K9′s show when she started talking about the pillow and encouraging her listening audience to check out the auction!
A comfy pillow that says ‘I Love My Dog‘ was signed by Janelle Dixon, President and CEO of the Animal Humane Society. Attention all staff, volunteers and anyone who has ever adopted an animal from the AHS or who is planning to adopt an animal from the AHS, here’s your chance! Go on over and bid on this pillow!!
Ready, Set BID!
Harmony,
Janet Roper
