MEET AND GREETS
If you would like to meet greyhounds in person and are interested in
talking to GPA volunteers about greyhounds and greyhound adoption please
come to one of our meet and greets or other events listed below.
If you have any donation items for the kennel (such as food, bedding, or cleaning supplies), please feel free to bring them to any GPA event or Meet and Greet and we will be sure they are delivered promptly.
Check back often, as events will be added during the year.
Every Saturday morning, weather permitting, at 9:00 join our friends, The Trailbound Hounds, for a hike through
some of the lovely parks in the southeastern part of Massachusetts.
All well-behaved dogs are welcome. For more info, go to www.trailboundhounds.org

Dear Greyhound Lovers,
Brad and I are excited to be coordinating volunteers for the GPA booth at the 2008 Marshfield Fair. We are looking for volunteers to introduce fair patrons to this gentle breed and to raise awareness of the need for forever homes, volunteers, and donations.
The fair runs August 15 through 24. Opening time is 12:00 PM on weekdays and 10:00 AM on weekends. We are looking to fill as many 3-hour shifts as possible to really get out the awareness this year. We are hoping that by keeping the shifts short we will ensure happy and spry greyhounds and their people.
This fair is a great opportunity to increase adoptions and get some much needed publicity. If you are passionate about this breed, care for their welfare, and have a story or two to tell, we need you.
If you or anyone in your group would like further details or are interested in volunteering, with or without your greyhounds, please e-mail us.
Klair Conant: k.conant@comcast.net
Brad Conant: conantb@comcast.net
More detailed information, including directions to parking and entering the fair, volunteer schedules and reminders will be e-mailed as the event approaches.
I am looking forward to hearing from you,
Klair Conant |
