Pet food Drive

Yappers,

This month, September/ October our community project of the month is the pet food drive. We have asked that all of our YAP representatives ask their school if they can put a donation box up, and trying to fill it up with as much dry/ wet food for dogs/ cats. As we have heard in the news that there have been large forest fires that have been catastrophic to many families. Many houses were damaged, burnt down, and destroyed leaving those families with nothing to go home to, and no where for their adored pets to stay either. All and any donations will be greatly accepted and appreciated.  The proceeds will be given to the Longmont Humane Society. The donations that are received will be used to replenish the Longmont Humane Society’s pet food supply.

I will be contacting the Westminster Window asking if they would be capable and willing to take a photo-op and/ or an article.

The deadline for the donations is October 18th, 2010 by 10 am at City Hall. We are hoping for at least four members to be released from school and meet at City Hall at 10 am to load all the donated food into the vehicle. We will be done by approximately 12:30-1 pm so that you all  may return to school.

Let any of the YAP officers or advisors know asap if you will be able to attend the mini “field trip”.

Thank you for your time and convenience,

PIO officer, Bobbi Strange

Please notify me if there are any questions or concerns about the information posted and I will gladly answer them.

Name Tags!

Yappers!

If you need a new name tag, have never received a name tag, or need a new magnate for your name tag, please contact Cindy to get that taken care of. We NEED all Yappers wearing their name tags at all times, so please get this taken care of as soon as possible.

Thanks

Children’s Hospital

Hey Yappers!

On March 13 we will be going to the Children’s Hospital to have read and do crafts with some of the patients there. The event starts at 1:30. We will be meeting at City Hall at 12:45 for rides.

For this event we would like for everyone to buy Dr. Seuss stuffed animals from Khol’s (proceeds serve as a donation to the Children’s hospital) and to bring the stuffed animal to the event. Also we would like for everyone to try to collect some “get well soon” cards from your school and friends to hand out to patients at the hospital.

Katie stated that this is the list of things we cannot bring to Children’s Hospital:

• You can’t wear blue jeans
• Don’t bring food
• If you are sick you cannot come!

Other than that, see you on March 13!
