A Celebration of Plants & Animals!

Every other year NHS hosts Art for Animals, on the opposite years we try
to do a unique fundraiser. For 2009, we will be doing "A Celebration of
Plants and Animals!" Please put on your thinking caps for ideas for
auction items both silent and live that would work for this event. There
are a world of possibilities - garden related art work, plants, canning
equipment, going "green". Wildlife items or services for our beloved
pets. . . please give this some thought and I welcome your calls at
home. Thank you, Deanna. 715-634-4543

We need to raise about $30,000 from this event to help meet our budget
needs. So save Saturday, June 20, 6:30 p.m.

creatively!

provides a fresh center piece for your home each month. Beehive
Botanical has donated $500 in Chamber Dollars, Chef Maximillian has

wood products, services, decorative items, food related items. Do you
have canned food to donate, coffee table books about plants and
animals? Do you have a tiller you would loan? Could you donate fire
wood? Do you quilt with animals in mind? Do you make dog or cat
beds or play things? This theme is really embracing. Donated items
