Photos from the HUGE Bazaar sale

Attached are some photos from the big 40% off at the ADLA Bazaar on December 6 and 7.

We had inventory upstairs, downstairs and even outside - Saturday especially was a banner day for us.  Mega thank you's  to Peggy, Lila, Linda Clark, Karen, Eva, Gary and Pete for spending their weekend setting up, selling and breaking down both Saturday and Sunday.

There is still plenty of inventory left so check out the photos, there may be something waiting for you.

We could not get into the Bazaar upstairs for more photos because of the large number of people coming and going.

 

A BIG success for ADLA!!!

Recent Techmilenio Booth

Once more ADLA was invited to participate in the annual Techmilenio Fair as a non-profit organization.

The crowds were good, as was the food (all kinds) and the non-stop entertainment of dance troupes, singers, and musicians.

Our hardy volunteers, Billie, Alma and Pete handled set-up, sales and breakdown on Sunday, November 15th.  The final tally proved that our Boutique products are in high demand.  We did GOOD!

 

Donation of medicine

We wish to thank Minnesota Valley Pet Hospital, Mankato, Minnesota for their very generous donation to our shelter.  If you live in their area, please stop by their office and thank them in person for us! 

Noah's new Mama!

Noah found his new family today!  His new Mom is Maria De Jesús Carreon Corona.  Felicidades to both Noah and his new family!  Last week Noah made a trip to the orphanage and was a big hit.  He is a wonderful and loving dog!  We wish them many years of loving each other!

We have golf clubs!

At the bazaar on the second floor of the Amigos de los Animales animal shelter, we have at least four sets of golf clubs for sale for cheap, CHEAP prices.  There is a nice Calloway golf bag and the golf club brands include Hogan, Ping, Spaulding, MacGregor,  Arnold Palmer and several others.  There is even a set of clubs for children or a smaller person.

Come by any day except Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to find the club or set of clubs that will enhance your game.

While you are there, please remember to purchase your tickets for the Champagne Brunch fund raiser that will be held at the Marina El Cid Events Center on Sunday, January 25th.  This year we are offering an Early Bird Special - the first 100 tickets purchased prior to December 1, 2014, will be available for $350 pesos.  The remaining 200 tickets for the event will be available for $400 pesos.  To qualify for the Early Bird Special you must pay for your ticket prior to the cutoff date.  Purchase early and save an extra $50 pesos.

Thanks for your continued support.

 

 

Visit to the Orphanage

 

Recently ADLA Volunteers Karen, Pete and three shelter dogs had the choice assignment of visiting with the boys at the Catholic Orphanage in El Centro (Hogar San Pablo).  They were excited to meet with us, walk the three lucky dogs (non-stop) and share in the handouts.  There were children's T-shirts for the younger boys and hats for the older fellows.  Some managed to get both!!

Below are a few photos from that event - a special thank you to the on-site staff that kept things under control and orderly during the event. 

To make these events even more meaningful, Fernanda has put together a presentation in Spanish on the care of pets - the do's and don'ts of feeding, cleaning, training and general behavior around animals.  She will have her first group at another Orphanage later this month. 

We are always looking for new ways to get our message out to the community and this one will be a winner for sure.
