Thank you all!

The fundraiser on Sunday was a wonderful time and great success thanks to all of you, our awesome supporters! We cannot thank you all enough!! Though not there in person, Phillip & Michelle kicked it off to a great start....you were there in spirit for sure! Thank you so much!

We had a full house and a great time and it was awesome to be putting money into our supporters pockets as well! Ya can't beat that!

Lots of good food, good friends and fun, fun, fun!

JoAnn....without the Mr. Magoo goggles this time!

A lovely picture of Laurie's son and his girlfriend....well, except for Laurie lurking in the background! LOL

Laurie and my mom!

Laurie's mom and grandmother learn how rich they are!

Big thanks to Dale who did all the work! She was busy from the time she got there at 3 right up until about 11pm! Not a single break....I don't know how she did it!

Anna and Maris

My mom chatting with Heather and her lovely daughter and Carol, the amazing creator of the quilt hanging on the great room wall!

My beautiful sister-in-law Christine and Lisa (she used to dispatch with me). I don't know how Lisa did it...she's due in 7 weeks and spent the day at a parade with her young son then most of the night here. I would have been whining on the couch begging for a foot rub had I been her!

The weather was absolutely beautiful too, so people could head outside and take a peek at any residents willing to show themselves......there was a ham or two willing to show off of course!

The Woburn Animal Hospital gang.

Holy crap! I'm getting how much!?! LOL

We also raffled off some goodies....

Celine & Christine! (Thanks for the goodies for the gang and the mommy Celine! ;) )

...and I really wish you could see the adorable owl earrings Stephanie won! I thought I got it in the shot...grrrr! Trust me when I say they looked awesome on her....perfect with the owl ring!

My cousins Christina, Michelle and Kathleen with Mom, Christine and Celine.

Boo Boo is cheating on me! LOL He sure knows how to get the attention he wants!

It wouldn't be a party without this shot at the end of the night now, would it?! LOL

It was a great night! Thanks to everyone who came and all those that have supported us all along. This post would go on forever if I attempted to list you all here....but you all know who you are and we love ya! We certainly couldn't do it without all of you and we are eternally grateful!

Our fundraiser at Flatbread's was spectacular! So many of our wonderful friends, family and supporters came out in full force to show their support...THANK YOU ALL! And thanks to Flatbread for letting us have it and special thanks to Kristen who got the ball rolling and pretty much organized the whole thing!...and the Billerica Cat Care Coalition for getting the word out and coming by to support us! You all rock!!!

And look! I even got a picture of Lisa where she's not sleeping!!LOL Awesome! Great picture of Lisa and Mary!

...and Mary's sisters.

Sue's hubby Jim and John the Belmont ACO...he's one of the good guys and has done a lot to help us and the wildlife he encounters...a true Animal Control Officer (not to be mistaken with those Dog (only!) Officers) that cares about ALL the animals!

My absolute biggest fan/supporter/volunteer/you name it he does it person...Dad!! I think his choice of attire for the evening says it all! LOL

Sue and Jim....always there when you need them and very handy with tools!!!

Laurie's sister-in-law and family.

Daphne and Mark. The day they found Willie, Einstein and Flipper was the beginning of a beautiful friendship!! And many after Willie have them to thank for a wonderful place to be released and live.

JoAnn and her crew...hubby Manny and the guys from the gym! I hear so much about them....it was great to finally meet them! And my lovely Niece is in there too...she snuck her way into a few pics around the place! LOL

The crew at Woburn Animal Hospital....at least the 4 that would sit still for a pic! LOL Laurie, Lisa and Dr's Rice and Grange.

Mom, Dad, Aunt Deanna and Uncle Jack...and my niece again!

My wonderful sister-in-law with the kids! Please say a prayer for them and her Dad who passed away a couple days ago. Papa is with the angels now but he will be sorely missed.

Laurie's wonderful hubby :)

Dr. (Auntie to the coonies!) Bruce and Andrea from McGrath's.

Laurie's awesome dad! If it wasn't for him a LOT of the release pens and cages wouldn't have made it to their destinations! Her mom was there too....and I thought I had an awesome pic of them both until I downloaded them and as usual, so blurry you could hardly tell what the pic was! 

The rest of the McGrath's crew.

It was a wonderful, crazy night and again, words don't seem like enough, but  I want to thank you all so much for helping out! It is ever so greatly appreciated!

A successful (and fun!) fundraiser!

A very heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out for our Bling for Babies fundraiser!! It was a great success and a lot of fun too! Thanks to Jess the Silpada jewelry rep for suggesting it in the first place and guiding us while we pulled it all together!!

It was a great excuse to finally clean my house for a change too! LOL (thanks Mom and Laurie for helping with that!)

Good fun, good food & drink, good friends....it was a wonderful night full of wonderful people all out to help our wildlife! Thanks to all for everything!
