HELP NEEDED for Holiday mailing: Sat., Dec. 3

Friends of Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue Needs You!

We will be having a gathering on Saturday, December 3^rd from 2pm-5pm at the Library in Maplewood, sorry Roseville Library was booked!

We need your help to get our Christmas mailing stuffed, addressed, and stamped. This is our largest fundraiser each year. We know the holidays are a hectic time of year, so we greatly appreciate your time to help fund our rescue mission for another year. There is a small café in the library, where you may purchase beverages and some sweets. Anyone interested in going out to dinner following the stuffing gathering is more than welcome to do so.

There will be sign-ups for various activities throughout the year plus we are looking for volunteers willing to coordinate and volunteer for subcommittees: Events: assisting at events by manning tables, Shelter Volunteers: we need a volunteer coordinator to facilitate scheduling volunteers to help Karen at the shelter, Education: a team to coordinate collections for clinic education and giveaways (such as flea and tick preventative drive, grooming supplies drive, hay and shelter drive, etc), Social Events (we need a better name): a team to schedule gatherings of RLRR placements and their forever families, and any other awesome rescue support activity you can think of.

Maplewood Pubic Library is located at 3025 Southlawn Dr, Maplewood, MN 55109

How much is $10,000 bowls of food??

Karen Good was named a Halo Shelter Hero by Bark Magazine!

In addition to the great article, Red Lake Rosie's Rescue received 10,000 bowls of food! We really didn't know how much that would be, but when we picked up the load, we had 3 pallets of Halo dog and cat food!! It filled up our cargo van with good quality kibble which is needed to help so many animals here.

Little Jackie was a surrender at the clinic who came in very hungry. Jackie and others like her will benefit from 10,000 bowls of Halo food! She has been happily eating it at the shelter!

We have lots of cats at the shelter now and they are very grateful for the food, too.

In addition, we are able to supply food for the animals of community members.

Many, many thanks to Bark Magazine and Halo pet food AND to the mystery person who nominated Karen and Red Lake Rosie's Rescue for this wonderful honor and donation!!!
