You're invited to this happy Corgi Jubilee! The picnic event is our yearly fundraiser that gives us the opportunity to visit with old friends and meet new ones too as we work together to continue the FTCR mission. We especially fancy seeing Faery Tails alum once again and we always welcome well-behaved corgis and friends who would like to grace us with their presence. All dogs need to be on a NON-flexi leash. Please view all of this letter to learn specifics about the auction, raffle, lunch, contests and shopping. If you have any questions please reply to this e-mail with your inquiry.
