Capital Campaign Steering Committee

 

This is an exciting time!  We are about to do something that has never been done before in St. Croix County and we want you to be a part of it!!!

 

We are well on our way to starting our Capital Campaign to build a Humane Society Adoption and Education Center in St. Croix County but we need committee members. The Steering Committee is made up of multiple sub-committees. Each sub-committee chair will have a seat on the Steering Committee.

The Steering Committee and the sub-committees will meet monthly, on a pre-set and agreed upon time, date and place. Meetings will be no longer than one hour, and will start and end on time. To accomplish tasks within the time stated, limited pre-reading and other work will be part of the commitment.

Agendas, minutes of previous meeting, and any additional forms will be sent to each member electronically one week prior to each meeting.

If you would like to find out more about being on the Steering Committee or offer your talents in any other way, contact us at [email protected].

Pies for Pets - October 1 through November 18

Our annual 
Pies for Pets 
sale starts October 1!



There are many scrumptious pies to choose from and SCAF will receive $2.00 for each pie sold. Anyone who sells pies to 10 different people will receive a free pie of their choice. And . . . anyone who sells over 40 pies will receive a free dinner for two at the Hudson Perkins! Who says you can't have your pie and eat it too?
 

St. Croix Animal Friends supporters can help us raise money by selling delicious Perkins pies. It's simple! All you do is collect orders and payment from pie lovers you know before November 18th.  Email [email protected] to arrange pickup of the order forms and payments. Then, the folks who placed orders can pick up their own mouth-watering freshly baked pies at the Hudson Perkins on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, November 25, 26, and 27. That's it!

 

Please help us help animals by selling these famous Perkins pies. Proceeds support our animal service programs such as Reaching Out Pet Food Assistance, Low Cost Spay/Neuter, Emergency Medical Assistance, Microchipping, School Pals Visits, and Foster/Adoption to name a few as well as the building fund for our future Humane Society Adoption and Education Center.

 

The Pies for Pets Flyer and order form will be available on the Pies for Pets event page on October 1.  For more information contact [email protected]
