Bingo Nights with Myra

It was a month long fundraising event for us -   Bingo Nights at Niffers on the Lake Restaurant. It is always a fun time where we can get out and meet some of our friends & supporters and have a good time raising funds for the rescued dogs of Rescue K911.  In this case, the funds were to go to GiGi, an abused Great Dane that had just come into our care.  Gigi had a lengthy stay at the vets office recovering from her many wounds, and this event was for her to help with her medical bills.  Every Tuesday night for four weeks the crowds gathered, and our wonderful volunteers, Patti, Karen, Kim, Jenny & Myra worked hard at selling tickets, t shirts and to tell everyone about Rescue K911.  On each of the four nights the jackpot was never won, causing the funds to carry forward until the next week.  After our four weeks there, the Jackpot was still not won.  In talking with Jenny, she told us that she and Myra were planning on going back the next Tuesday night and try to win the Jackpot for Gigi & Rescue K911…and sure enough they did WIN!!!  That night Myra, so excited,  called us to let us know

she had  won the Jackpot and was giving the funds to help Rescue K911 – How wonderful is that!!!

We’d like to thank everyone that came out to support us, Special thanks to Myra, Jenny, Patti, Karen & Kim  for working so hard at  this event for us. Each one is such a wondeful friend & help to our rescue, and we appreciate them so very much! And thank you Niffer’s Restaurant for reaching out to help the community and homeless dogs!
