Save the Date!!! GALT Christmas Open House December 1, 2012 - 5 to 8 pm GALT Holiday for the Hounds GreytStore! The Plaza at Preston Center Shopping Center 4000 Villanova, Dallas. (Southeast quadrant of intersection of Northwest Highway and Preston Road)
We still have a few volunteer slots open in the Holiday for the Hounds store -- either as Photo Assistants, Gift Wrappers, Store Clerks or Floaters. The work is easy and fun -- and it's a great way to visit with some of your GALT pals (human and canine)! In addition to working in the holiday store, we can still use some help with decoration and set-up on November 5th through 7th -- and with packing/shutdown after the store closes on Sunday, December 2nd -- and also loading/unloading the store trailer on Monday, December 3rd.
We look forward to seeing you and your family there!
