Winter 2007
Wrapping, wrapping, wrapping and then
there was more wrapping! What kind of wrapping you ask? BONES
Volunteers all over New England got in their autos and headed for
Barnes and Noble Bookstores as well as Borders Books and wrapped books
as well as other presents. What did we charge? A strictly voluntary
donation was requested.
Thanks to these stores for providing
us with the opportunity and thanks to the folks that contributes. A
special thanks to the BONES Volunteers. There are none like them!
Here are some photos from the Rhode
Island crew, organized by Sandy Church. |

RI Car Wash, July 28
Well our 4th Annual Bones Car
Wash was a big success today. We made a total of $373.89.
This RI group is awesome.
They worked so hard today. Between standing on the corner holding
signs for hours, asking everyone that went by for donations and washing
cars in the extreme heat.
New volunteers Kathy and
Jeff Arsenault stopped by with their beagle who was Ginnie before
she was adopted.
Thanks to everyone that came out
to help today:
Mary Politi, Mark and Kendra
Vandervalk, Nancy Choquette and Bob the beagle, Sherrie Cluley, Sara
Overgaag,Donna Bowman, Ellen Ross, Mitch and Luann Edwards and Abby
Pimental. Abby made such great signs for us, she is so
creative. We also had Clover,Jake and Hanna greeting customers as
they waited for their car to be washed.
We were so happy the weather
turned out great. But boy, phew, was it hot. Thanks
again everyone for giving your time on a beautiful summer day
and for bearing the heat.

"Dogs Allowed" July 14,
Mashpee, MA
The first annual "Dogs
Allowed" event in Mashpee, MA looked to be a big success. Lots of
fun dog activities. BONES was lucky to be the only Breed Rescue
group, we were right next to the MSPCA booth. We met lots
of nice dog/Beagle lovers and spread the word about BONES on Cape
Cod. We gave out lots of brochures and took in some cash
donations. I have a good lead on an adoption for a nice woman
from my local shelter. I will be working hard to find her a
Beagle mix:)

August 22
- 2nd CAR WASH FOR BONES
Yes, they had so much fun the first time they did it again.
Sunday's car wash held in Smithfield, RI yesterday was a successful one
for BONES. We raised some much needed money for our beagles while
having fun washing cars (and getting each other wet, of course). Lisa
Natanson had her foster beagle Trevor and he even helped Lisa wash some
cars. We thank so many volunteers who washed cars on their day off.
Check out the pictures - especially Trevor who stayed in his little
pouch the whole day - what a trooper!

July 17 - CAR WASH FOR BONES
The
car wash in Smithfield, RI was a success for B.O.N.E.S.
There were about 12 of us and we had a ball for 3 hours washing
cars,trucks,vans and suv's. We tried to get a couple of motorcycles in
...but no go. Needless to say we were also getting each other wet. The
day turned out to be a beautiful one and we handed out B.O.N.E.S.
brochures to everyone that had their vehicles washed.
We also had a surprise visit from B.O.N.E.S. adopter and volunteers
Lisa, Norman and Haylie Breault and their beagle's Cleo and Belle. They
were vacationing near by and decided to come and say hello.
THANK YOU to all who came to help out and make it a fun day!!
At
the right are a few photos of the day. At the top, some of our fans
dropped by to make sure it was going well and we were making money for
their friends who have not been adopted yet.
The
bottom photo shows that work was actually done! |

June 19 - The Bridgeton/Fryeburg, ME
Harvest Hills Animal Shelter’s Walk-a-Thon
The
Maine weather forced us all inside, but everyone still had a good time.
Eric
and Michele Stillman and their Beagle Otis, from MA that paid us a
visit. Otis was adopted from the Harvest Hills Shelter a couple of
years ago when Eric and Michele had a cabin nearby. They said “Otis is
the best thing that ever happened to us”. Otis and Patty (dogs) became
friends while Eric and Michele (human) expressed an interest in
becoming new BONES volunteers.
Anastasia
Quillen, a Harvest Hills volunteer, was happily recruited to walk Patty
in the Walk-a-Thon and she helped look after Patty for the rest of the
event. As usual, she fell in love with Patty.
One
of the day’s highlights was when we had a Canine Police demonstration.
During the bite presentation, when the Police Dog latched onto the “Bad
Guy’s” (a Game Warder) padded arm, you should have heard the chorus of
raucous howls from the canine audience. It was a good thing the
audience was on leash! |
