ACTIVITIES & EVENTS
Pet Rock Festival
September 14, 2008
Pet Rock Fest - held at Quinsigamond Community College - is an annual
festival that promotes kindness to animals. The festival features hundreds
of tables, including breed rescues, shelters, animal welfare organizations
and more.
This is a family-friendly day that includes an adoptable dog parade,
contests, rabie clinic and low-cost microchipping (certificates provided)
by VCA, live music,
a doggie water park, a cat photo contest, speakers, vendors, shows
and food. It's a wonderful day for you and your leashed pet.
Interested in volunteering? Contact Martine
Meijering email: roadshow@neoesr.org
Also, Pet Rock is especially looking for volunteers from exhibiting
groups this year to help us run the festival. This can include only
a couple of hours throughout the day. Pet Rock is also looking for
coordinators to become part of their core team at Pet Rock to help
them raise money/plan the festival throughout the year. This can be
done in a variety of capacities. If you are interested, or know someone
who is, please let Martine Meijering at mmeijering@comcast.net know
and your name will be passed on the Pet Rock organizers.

NEOESR Fundraising Auction
Saturday - October 11, 2008
The annual fundraising auction will be held at the First Parish United
Church in Westford, MA. This is an important fund raising event
for NEOESR and we need volunteers to make it successful. Contact
Sue Marks or Mark Bridschge (email: auction@neoesr.org) if you can volunteer.
This fundraiser helps Old English Sheepdogs in need such as PJ (click
here for PJ's Story).
Note: since the auction is held during "leaf peeping" season in New
England, you should probably make reservations at a hotel early. Click
here for a list of pet friendly hotels near the NEOESR auction.
