Bulletin Board

v  Braxton’s pet store in Wayne has a new rewards program for shoppers.  If you mention Pals For Life and give our phone #, you can donate your earned rewards to PFL!

v  Pals can always use donations of kitty litter for Taffy and cat food for the feral cats. If you ever have any extra, we could use it!

v  Pals currently does not need any dog supplies, so if you have dog food or supplies you would like to donate to the SPCA, these donations must be taken by you to the SPCA. We do not have the time to take them there or the space to store these items.

v  Please try to give at least 24-hour advance notice if for some reason you cannot make a program.  Thanks so much for your help!

v  Love to shop on-line? Go to www.igive.com. There are over 400 retailers on this site; if you purchase through it, PFL will receive a donation.
