Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation

Greetings All~

 

SPACE has begun to partner with the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation and we need your help!

 

Fidelco is hosting their Annual Dog Walk on the Salem Common on Sunday June 10th from 1-3pm. In addition to the walk they will have food and vendors for a fun-filled afternoon!

SPACE would like to contribute by participating in the walk as a TEAM.

 

Here is what we need from you!

 

You and your dog can join our team for just a $10 donation! We need at least 18 dogs to make a team for the event so please consider helping such a worthy cause.

The walk will begin at the far end of Salem Common and travel through our historic downtown – just shy of a mile long.

 

If you are interested in joining our team, please email Sarah at salemspacebod@gmail.com Your donation can be sent to our PO box listed below cash or check.

 

For more information about Fidelco, please visit their website http://www.fidelco.org/

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

ART IS FOR THE BIRDS – AND CATS & DOGS

Local artists called to create and donate birdhouses for Northeast Animal Shelter

 

SALEM, Mass. (April 2012) Salem’s collection of community minded stores, Roost, The Beehive and Scrub, locally owned by Kate Leavy and Jamie Metsch, are hosting their 2^nd Annual Gimme Shelter Birdhouse Auction on June 3, 2012, with all proceeds benefiting the Northeast Animal Shelter (NEAS).

 

Local artists are invited to submit their original take on the classic birdhouse to be displayed and auctioned to the public at the event held at Roost’s 40 Front Street location. Ideally, the birdhouses should be functional as well as decorative, but no design restrictions apply except they need to fit through the door.

 

Want to donate a birdhouse creation for this very worthy cause? Contact us with your intent to submit by May 1^st, 2012 to be included in promotional materials. Completed birdhouses must be received no later than May 20^th, 2012.
