Thrifty Kitty's Very Successful Jewelry & More Event
A Message from Vali Ebert:
"Thanks so much for supporting the Jewelry & More efforts all year long. For our special 10th year we did three events! As a result of your support, we have some figures to be very proud of: November 2 sale—just over $19,000—a record; year-to-date income via Thrifty Kitty (daily sales plus the February and May events)—about $83,847—also a record (with two more months to go this year); over ten years—guestimate at this point—$225,000 and counting! So, many records and lots of help for the shelter."
