Duncan's Yard Sale Fundraiser a smashing success thanks to you!!!!!

Top of the morning to everyone, 

WE ARE TOTALLY EXHAUSTED BUT VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED!!!! First, we would like to thank everyone who took the time to donate some gently used and/or new items to the "Duncan's Fund" Yard Sale that was held this past weekend.  Your generosity was overwhelming. We would also like to thank all the wonderful animal lovers who took the time to stop by and purchase something.  Some visitors told us to keep the change, some didn't purchase but gave a wonderful donation.  We met so many great people.  The love that we experienced this weekend has touched our hearts in a way we cannot express. Thanks also to our wonderful volunteers (Kathy, Linda, Karen, Mary, Lynn, Tracey), who stepped up and helped out either at the County location or the Bowie location.  Thanks to V at the County for organizing the County side.  She did a magnificent job.  A huge thank you also goes out to "THE FACE PAINTING LADY", "MISS IVEY FACE PAINTING" AND "CALVERT KETTLE CORN". WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT EVERYONE'S HELP!!!!! We planned on having the sale only on Saturday, however, because the weather was so great and we still had lots of wonderful treasurers, we held it over on Sunday and were shocked at how many people stopped by.  Our "Fly Boy" air puppet really drew the people.   Because of your generosity and love for the animals, Connie and Teri 4 Animals and the County raised $2,053.80 with more donations still coming in for Duncan's Fund to help the shelter animals with medical needs so they can find loving, forever homes. Not only did we raise money for the animals, we will be adding 17 new supporters to our email list. WE ARE HUMBLED BY YOUR GENEROSITY.  FROM OUR HEARTS, WE THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR YOUR COMPASSION FOR THE ANIMALS. Will be posting more pics on our facebook and website over the next few days.

We are planning Duncan's Fund Sequel on Saturday, 9/6 and possibly Sunday 9/7 so watch our website and facebook page for information
