Humane Society Fundraiser to Pay Vet Bills

Laurinburg, NC — The Scotland County Humane Society will hold a fundraising event in two weeks that its directors hope will become the annual centerpiece in their fight to save lives.  Money raised at “Wine and Ales for Waggin’ Tales,” an invitation-only event, will go towards repayment of veterinary bills incurred during the treatment of sheltered animals.  “We’re trying to save as many animals as we can,” said Kathy Murphy, who serves on the society’s board of directors. “We know that we need fundraisers because we have so many vet bills.” Selections for beer and wine connoisseurs will abound as the committee plans to offer stock not found on every grocery store shelf.  There will also be heavy hors d’oeuvres and a jazz performance by Ray Codrington and a jazz ensemble. A live auction will be held, featuring such items as vacation rentals and customized work by a portrait artist, and smaller items will be up for bid through a silent auction.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
