Flock Lights Up American Candle!

At last count, our fundraising flock of pink flamingos have visited at least 10 area businesses in their quest to raise funding and awareness for an animal shelter in Monroe County run by AWSOM, Animal Welfare Society of Monroe! The participating businesses have made generous donations in support of our flock and we're closer to a true "OPEN HOUSE!" The open house will support AWSOM's efforts to help homeless companion animals in the county through an already existing network of rescue groups, foster homes, animal advocates and public support. The essential ingredient still missing is adequate funding. Area businesses and individuals have rallied in support of an open animal shelter. American Candle on Route 611 in Bartonsville requested a flocking, and prepared for their arrival. After a fueling stop at Friendly's of Tannersville, the pink posse flew down to light up American Candle and they were warmly received. Employees in pink outfits wore flamingo earrings, and one eager employee went so far as to DYE HER OWN HAIR PINK!!!!! Think Pink was the order of the day and Candle customers were able to use pink flamingo coin canisters to also donate! As MellowYellow drove by American Candle at 1am, the pink flamingos still burned brightly through the dark of night! What a bright reception for our fundraisers! Thanks to all.
