Flamingos Are Flockin' Crazy!

 
Today was an ASWSOM day! Between the crowds at StroudFest, the festival atmosphere at Putts for Mutts and all the generous donations made to help AWSOM open the shelter on Halloween, October 31, our flamingos were flying high! In fact one of the crazier birds was photographed flying high above Hazleton, nearly 2 miles high to be more precise! When the AWSOM Board of Directors recently announced the shelter opening date, they also announced that we needed to raise at least $45,000 in the next 6 weeks to ensure the shelter can open and stay open.
At that particular meeting, Dr Clair Thompson announced he would do or try ANYTHING to increase funding and awareness for the cause! No measures were too extreme to try and he would stop at nothing and won't take NO for an answer! While watching his nephews taking their first skydives in Hazleton on Saturday, Dr Clair realized he had one of our fun-draising flamingo flock along and decided to"jump at the chance" to promote AWSOM! One of the birds was tattooed with the AWSOM logo across it butt and our group took to the air. Dr Clair said that if he's willing to jump from a perfectly good airplane to promote AWSOM, what are you willing to do or raise? AWSOM raised over $1,000 today and we're psyched!!! However, people need to know that AWSOM must raise $1,000 per day every day of the year to run the shelter and stop the senseless killing of unwanted animals in Moroe County! Let's do it!!!
