GA SPCA & Sadie's Place

USA's Pageant's, Inc.@ http://www.winthecrown.net/ is a supporter of the SPCA and as an Ambassador for this system, I hope to increase my support of our furry friends during my reign.

Today, I also had the opportunity to visit the Suwanee location and offer donations of dog food and housewares. The housewares were donated by Karen Alexander of Garden Works and other vendors from America's Mart. They will be used to raise money through Sadie's Place to help fund the GA SPCA. The Georgia SPCA is hosting a Benefit Bash on August 18 to raise funds for this facility. If you are interested in learning more abou this organization go to http://georgiaspca.org/.

I enjoyed visiting with the workers, volunteers and pets. I was pleased to see several adoptions in process during my visit. I even almost added dog number 4 to my family. I fell in love with a cute little german shepard mix named Spangle. Unfortnuately for me, when I went back with my dad to get him, a family was in the process of adopting him. Spangle is one lucky dog. He was cared for by the Georgia SPCA and matched with a worthy family. The Suwanee facility is so clean, and the dogs and cats are well cared for. If you are looking for a pet, be sure to check them out.



This is Spangle. I hope he enjoys his new home.

Ronald McDonald House

Today I had the opportunity to visit the Ronald McDonald House and deliver over 50 pounds of pop-tabs that were collected by my family and a Title I school in Gwinnett County. I enjoyed visiting with the manager and discussing the awesome service the Ronald McDonald house offers to families in need. She was excited about the donation of the pop-tabs that would be used to help fund the services provided by the Ronald McDonald house. For more information on the Ronald McDonald House, to volunteer, or to make a donation of your own, go to http://www.armhc.org/How_You_Can_Help.html

What a blessing that families who are struggling to cope with a sick family member don't have to worry about staying in a hotel, enabling them to focus on their child's health.
