New
Hampshire SPCA to Host 11th Annual Auction for Animals
STRATHAM, NH
The New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(NHSPCA) announces the "11th Annual Auction for the Animals"
and invites animal enthusiasts to join in for an evening filled
with excitement and lively bidding.
The benefit auction will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2005,
at the New England Center in Durham, NH. All proceeds will contribute
to providing shelter, food and medical care for more than 4,000
homeless, abused and neglected animals that will be surrendered
to the center in the coming year.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the evening will begin with hors d'oeuvres
and silent auction bidding, followed by a full course dinner and
live auction. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on more
than 200 unique auction items graciously donated by businesses and
individuals throughout the greater seacoast area. A sampling of
the items up for bid includes furniture and home décor, jewelry,
certificates for dining at many area restaurants, original artwork,
a resort stay in Virginia Beach, VA and a trip for two to a vacation
destination of your choice.
"In today's society it's increasingly important to give back
to the community, especially to those who can't help themselves,"
commented Mary Jane Werner, NHSPCA Board member and Development
Committee chairwoman. "The auction is a perfect chance to not
only take home some wonderful items for yourself or as gifts for
others, but to help support an organization that does so much for
our community."
For more information contact the NHSPCA at (603) 772- 2921, ext.
119 or by email at events@nhspca.org. Tickets may also be purchased
on line at www.nhspca.org.
