The second annual Yappy Hour is calling two by two to enjoy door prizes, drinks, food and fun from 5:30-8:00 p.m. Friday, March 27 at B McNeel’s in Murfreesboro.
Yappy Hour will benefit On The Fifth Day and will further their quest to “Build The A.R.K.” (Animal Rescue Keystone), an animal sanctuary.
On the Fifth Day is striving toward an immediate goal to raise $30,000 to purchase the land and administrative building necessary to begin work immediately.
“With the dire economic state, it is more important now than ever that we stay positive and help all the animals that are feeling the effects of so many jobs and homes lost as much as we are,” said Rebecca George, director’s assistant for OTFD. “We can also have a fabulous time doing it.”
The evening will include a jungle of animal print balloons filled with door prizes from area vendors such as The Murfreesboro Symphony, Leslie’s Shoppe, The Nashville Sounds, Penny’s Closet, Massage, and many more for $5 each.
Tickets are $10 at the door, or $5 for students and OTFD members. All proceeds will go to On The Fifth Day. Guests may also purchase dinner and drinks on their own.
To RSVP, e-mail Jen Flatt Hilsher, founder and director, at jenghilsher@onthefifthday.org or through Facebook events: Yappy Hour.
On The Fifth Day is active in building on their goal to raise money for the A.R.K. Today’s goal of $30,000 will build fencing, the first dog-run, weather protection for animals, animal food, medicine, cleaning supplies, office functions and much more by July 2009.
“The flood is here and Middle Tennessee animals are in desperate need of our help. We can lead them to the sanctuary, if we could get just $1 from every Murfreesboro resident,” George said. “It is not whether we can afford to help, but can we afford not to?”
Currently On The Fifth Day is fund raising through many projects such as: “Spare Me” Change Donation Drive, “Give a Dog a Bone, Give a Dog a Home” $1 Campaign, “Cat-Tails and Cocktails” and “The Hair-Ball” Salon Donation Drive.
