This year at our Christmas party we are asking all of our friends to bring donations for us to take to our local SPCA: The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
It is a very easy charity to support because the things that the SPCA have on their "needed donations" list are things that many of us have extras of lying around the house or can be bought at any local store for next to nothing. Animals are completely helpless and we can change their lives with the smallest action.
For those of you who have holiday parties, this is a very easy way to help all the poor animals in shelter and to support SPCA in stopping animal cruelty.
I copy and pasted our invitaion so everyone can read it and hopefully do something similar this holiday season.
All you have to do is contact your local SPCA and see what they are in need of for the animals...... a lot of them need blankets and sweaters because it is so cold for the animals in the shelters this time of year. THen just ask your guests to bring a donation to your holiday party and then you just take everything down to your local SPCA.

LET'S ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE FURBABIES WHO DON'T HAVE FAMILIES AT CHIRSTMAS TIME!!!!!!!


THIS IS OUR PARTY INVITAION:

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

With the giving spirit of the holiday season, Steve and I will be making a donation to SPCLA: The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Los Angeles.

At our Christmas Party we will have an area set up where you can make either a cash/check donation or bring any of the needed items on the SPCA's Needed Items List. Steve and I will take all donated items and money to SPCA after the party.

So if you have a few extra dollars this Christmas, or you have some extra dog supplies lying around the house that you are able to spare, I am sure that there is a fur-baby in the pound that would appreciate your generosity forever.

There are lots of things on this list that are very inexpensive and can be found at the grocery store, Petco, or Target.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
