A Note From The Editor…
Open Day, Dec. 2008
This being the first issue of 2009 I would like to wish everybody a very happy New Year.
After a week of bad weather all of us at Homefinders were watching the forecast on a daily basis! We were promised a sunny but cold day and that is exactly what we got! The sun shone from a blue sky and we didn’t care about being cold! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!
2008 brought Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders much sadness at the death of Crystal but also much happiness. We were very lucky to be offered new kennels very quickly so that we could carry on finding homes for the gorgeous greyhounds. Thank you so much Chester and Rosie. Our Open Day was extremely successful and led to the homing of Shelley who had been with us for 18 months before finding the perfect home for her. It truly was the highlight of the year! A certain person is not ashamed to say that he had a tear in his eyes when he heard that she had gone to her new home! Didn’t you Clive?? I’ve been lucky enough to see Shelley so happy and settled in her new home. I was also very privileged to have her at home with me for a few hours before she moved on. Shelley (now Ellie), you were a very special little girl who deserved a special home. I’m so glad to say that you’ve now found your happy ever after home!
Even before the official opening time we had people arriving and it was non-stop from then on! To say that we were busy would be an understatement! Merchandise was almost flying off the stalls and Maggie and Martha’s cake stall was an overwhelming success! There were even homemade doggie biscuits for sale so that our four legged friends were catered for. Thank you to everyone who came to see us and make the day such a great one! We met up with friends old and new, two and four legged! We homed dogs and we raised a very, very impressive £1,400!!!! What a fantastic day! A great big thank you to everyone who helped on the day. Without your help it would not have been the success that it was! THANK YOU!
We all miss you at the kennels but knowing that you are happy is wonderful! Lynda_eden@hotmail.com Mrs Lynda Eden, 20 Bernard Road, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 9AW.
