Dumfriesshire & Cumbria Greyhound Rescue

28th July 2010 Special appeal for old or odd socks Two of our members are intending to make dog toys for us to sell to help raise funds for the charity. In order to do this they need lots of clean old or odd socks, it doesn't matter if they have the odd hole or two either! If you have any - and who doesn't? Please arrange to hand them on to either Al or Graham who will pass them on to Margaret and Mandy Bleasdale for them to work their magic on. We shall look forward to seeing the finished results on sale in the coming months. Following last year’s success and for the second year in a row, DCGR are organising a fundraising Ceilidh which will be held on Friday 17th September in the Locharbriggs Social Club, Dumfries.  Last year the event was sponsored by McCrea Financial Services through our member Norma Pearce who sadly died earlier this year and obviously, DCGR are looking for a sponsor for this year’s event. The sponsorship will cover the cost of the Ceilidh Band and will entitle the sponsor to be mentioned in our newspaper advert for the event, on our website,  in publicity on local radio for the event, a “company flyer” on each table as well as the opportunity to come along and enjoy the night.  Any member or supporter who could arrange such sponsorship is asked to contact our Treasurer, Margaret Hill at 01387 760577 for further information.
