What I have been up to today!

I work at a non-profit organization so we greatly depend on donations and fundraisers. Our board of directors handles most of the fundraisers but four years ago a couple of my co-workers and myself decided we would do our own fundraiser so P.A.W.S was born. P.A.W.S stands for providing abused women shelter (which we do). P.A.W.S is a pooch parade and fun dog show last year we had about 60 dogs. So most of the next couple of months this will be on my mind it is ALOT of work but well worth it in the end. Keep my sanity in your thoughts. I will post updates soon here is a picture of our little mascot. I am looking for pictures from last years show I will post them if I can find them on this computer.
