E-NEWS

Dear Friend of STAF,  
 
Spring has finally arrived and with spring the fundraisers start popping up just like the daffodils and tulips.  We've got some great fundraisers coming up and I've profilied the upcoming events below.  We hope to see you at these great events!
  
As you read down you'll notice that the descriptions get shorter and shorter.  As I send out the monthly enews I'll make sure to update the events as needed.
  
Please come show your support to the 6 STAF cats that will be at the upcoming Cincinnati Cat Show on April 16th and 17th.
  

As always, thank you for all that you do for STAF!  We really appreciate all of your support.

Bow Tie Yappy Hour at Bow Tie Cafe

April 28th from 5pm to 7pm

 

The Bow Tie Cafe in Mt. Adams will be holding a Yappy Hour the last Thursday of every month from 5pm to 7pm.  Mt. Adams is a dog loving community and they would like to honor that commitment while bringing visibility and awareness to different pet organizations/charities in the Cincinnati region.  STAF will be their first partner organization.

 

The date is Thursday April 28th.  Please stop by to show your support.  A portion of their proceeds will benefit STAF.  STAF has the best representatives in the community and by starting with our organization I think that the Bow Tie Cafe will not be disappointed.

STAF Volunteers - Bow Tie Cafe hopes that a few volunteers can be there to talk about STAF and share information.  We can also bring a dog, and I can share first hand that Orlando is a natural at PR events.  If you are able to help please email me - holly@staf.org.  Thank you!

 
  
Join us for STAF Day at Joseph-Beth Booksellers on May 7th.
 

Download the attached flyer (STAF Happenings) and at the bottom you'll find the coupon, present it to the cashier, and 20% of your bookstore sale and 10% of your Bronte Bistro sale will benefit all the animals at STAF.  There will also be some STAF volunteers there that day from 11:00am - 5:00pm to help gift wrap your purchases.
 

 

Notice that part about STAF volunteers being there from 11am to 5pm to wrap your gifts?  Well that is the part where I need your help!   Shifts are for two hours and if you'd like to bring your friend, mom, kids with you that would be just fine.  The more people to gush about STAF the more tips we get :)  If you can help at all please email me

holly@staf.org.  Thank you!

 

Joseph-Beth Booksellers is located at 2692 Madison Road in Rookwood Pavilion.

 

 
SUMMER OPEN HOUSE - June 5th

 

STAF's Summer Open House will be on Sunday June 5th from 2pm to 5pm.  Mark your calendars now to come meet the cats and dogs of STAF.  Our volunteers love nothing more than showing off our animals.  We'll also have all the tables you have come to love.

 

 
MEDIA SALE - June 18th

 

STAF's annual MEDIA SALE will be on June 18th from 9am to 3pm (with a rain date of June 25th) at the Kroger in Hyde Park.  We will start collecting gently used books, movies and CD's at the shelter after May 15th.  Please watch for the boxes in the front lobby.

 

Volunteers - we will need help at this event so please watch for the signs at the shelter.  Like the Joseph Beth event you do not need to be a volunteer to help.  If you would like to volunteer please email me at holly@staf.org and I will put you in contact with the volunteer coordinating the event.

 
SHOP FOR THE SHELTER YARD SALE - July 23rd 

 

If you want to enjoy some great bargains and support STAF, bring your friends and family to the

Shop for the Shelter Yard Sale on Saturday, July 23rd from 9:00am to 3:00pm at 7306 Euclid Avenue in Madeira.

  

 

We always appreciate gently used (or new) items for the sale!  If you, or anyone you know, have any items to donate we will be collecting items after the media sale.  We would love any household and decorative items, antiques, tools, electrical items, jewelry, and children's toys.  (No clothing, TVs or lawn mowers please!)

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

STAF CATS AT CINCINNATI CAT SHOW

 

This is the part where I would normally spotlight specific STAF residents.  However in this enews I'm spotlighting the 6 cats who will be attending the Cincinnati Cat Show on April 16th and 17th.  Due to (hopeful) adoptions the list isn't set yet so I can't name names of who willb e representing STAF.  Please stop by to show your support, and meet the lucky 6 yourself.  STAF cats always ribbon in the best Household Pet categories.  Ironic huh?  Hopefully it helps people realize what they are missing out of by not adopting.

 

The cat show is at a new place this year in Cleves, OH.  Please click on the link to get the address and coupons for admission (Cat Show).  Good luck! 

 

ADOPTION INFORMATION 

 

If you've got room in your heart and home, we've got some friends we'd like you to meet! Our shelter currently homes 45+ wonderful dogs and more than 500 spectacular cats. Short hair, long hair, big and small, young and "seasoned", playful and laidback, all here waiting for that special someone, maybe you!  Our adoption Hours are Thursdays from 6-8 pm and Saturdays from 1-4 pm.  Missing all the pictures of our adoptable dogs and cats that you normally see in the enews?  You can chek them out here at our Petfinder site (Petfinder STAF).  They are all waiting patiently for their homes.
