As stated earlier the 2011 picnic is being held at Teamworks (same place as last year) on Saturday, October 15 from 10 am to 3 pm. Set up will be on Friday evening and Saturday morning starting at 9 am, and clean up from 3 pm to 4 pm. We need volunteers to help with set up and clean up. Please call me (Pamm 919-803-7142) if you are willing to help. We will also need volunteers for various tasks during the picnic.
In an effort to send more of the money we raise this year to CorgiAid, we will be paying for the facility with volunteer hours to Teamworks. There will be several chances to volunteer between now and the picnic:
**The first opportunity is on August 20th at 8 am (for 1 hour) Teamworks (Michele Godlevski) is willing to pay us (with rental fee credit) $20 per hour, per person to do a trash pickup on their Adopt a Highway area. This is located on Capital Blvd (Highway 1) near the I540 interchange in Raleigh. We will meet at the Burger King on the corner of Old Wake Forest and Capital Blvd. (the NE corner of the intersection/ 1st intersection south of I540) You can contact me (Pamm at 919-803-7142) for more information and to sign up. All trash pickup supplies are provided by Teamworks. We will probably get together for an informal brunch afterward. The more people we can get to come to this event, the quicker we can raise the $310 needed for the facility rental.
**There are also 4 agility events coming up at Teamworks. Michele will credit us $10 per hour/ per person for volunteers to help out as ring crew. (NO experience necessary) You do not need to sign up ahead of time, just contact Michele at the site the day of the event. Keep track of your time and CALL PAMM (919-803-7142) with your hours (VERY IMPORTANT). There is no minimum time you have to work at one of these events. Any time you can donate is a help. Visit Teamworks at http://www.dogtrainingraleighnc.net/ for directions or more info about agility events.
The events are:
USDAA Agility – September 9th – 11th from 9 am to 5 pm.
CPE Agility – September 17th -18th from 9 am to 3 pm
NADAC Agility- October 1st – 2nd from 9 am to 3 pm
AKC Agility- October 7th – 9th from 9 am to 3 pm
**Another way that several people have already done: you can donate already earned credits that you may have on the books with Teamworks. Again, it is VERY IMPORTANT to let Pamm know before the picnic, the date and hours worked that you want to donate.
In an effort to improve the donations fund raiser, we will be doing a ticket raffle. We will be selling strips of tickets for a flat rate that you can then use to enter for as many items as you want or to enter as often as you want for a specific item. You will be able to enter all day up until the drawings (to be held at approx. 1:30 pm) without having to remember to return to check on bids.
We would like to solicit businesses for donations as well as having people donate items as in previous year's silent auctions. We already have a few businesses that have donated good/services. If anyone can think of a business that you could ask for donations, please feel free and let us know ahead of time what you have as a donation. CorgiAid is sending me some brochures to take along when soliciting businesses, that tells about CorgiAid. If you would like to have some brochures to use to solicit donations please give me a call (919-803-7142)
Looks like the NC Corgi Picnic will be held on October 15, 2011. Same place as last year Teamworks Dog Training, Youngsville. Hope everyone can come.
Some of us are planning a local corgi get together in the Pinehurst area also. Probably in early November. Check back for more info.
The big NC Corgi picnic is in Sept/Oct in the Chapel Hill/Raleigh area. There should be more info later this summer it is a lot of fun, hope everyone can attend.
As far as small get togethers I would love to help organize and attend. Lets start talking.
