Volunteers Rod Vetter and Mike Litawa headed up the charge to sell tickets and collect email addresses for SPCHS while manning the information booth at the Washington State International Kite Festival on Saturday. Rod worked with his friend and neighbor, Ken Schmaltz, to build an awesome collection box for the email addresses and cash donations. His wife, Verna, along with Mike’s son Trevor and volunteers Bonnie Teschner, Linda Yingling, Bobbie Huss and Jane & Roger Holeman, worked the project. At the end of the day, they had sold 104 raffle tickets, gathered $150 in cash donations and collected 75 email addresses.
One volunteer told me, “Rod was the man on Saturday. He not only worked to put the box together and coordinate that part of it, but he and his wife coordinated getting the puppies down [from the Shelter ] which was a huge hit with the crowd. He also worked the entire day and closed it down. Hats off to Rod for a job well done and well coordinated”.
Mike donated a getaway at the Breakers, to be won in a drawing of everyone who gave us their email address Saturday. The prize was won by Blair Qunece. Congratulations, Blair!
Meanwhile, more volunteers, headed up by Harriet Cavalli, were working a raffle ticket sales table at Jack’s Country Store. Betty Johnson, Arleen Rackham, and Pat Christie sold 97 tickets and added $20 cash to our cause! Betty also did all the sensational pictures and captions of Luigi for his birthday party, and she also cleans at the Shelter. Arleen Rackham is our Friday volunteer, and Pat Christie walks dogs for us.
Way to go, team!
