Welcome to guests Annette Baker (who adopted Lexi), Jean Schaefer, Emily Kerl, and Joe Miller. 


COMMITTEE REPORTS

CAFÉ (Companion Animal Food Effort)/Shiela Lund:

    • Winnie came to Friends of Noah in 2022.  After being treated for heartworm, she was adopted.  Unfortunately, Winnie redeveloped heartworm in December, resulting in seizures and a stroke and Winnie had to be put down. Heartworm prevention may be costly but worth it.

  • People for Pets at Mounds:  During February, Mounds Janesville will double (up to $1) any donations made during checkout.  Volunteer(s) still needed for 2/24. Sheila J will do this if no one else is able - thank you, Sheila!  

  • Basics Co-op Round-Up:  During March, any ‘round ups’ made at the time of checkout will be donated to Friends of Noah.  In order to educate the public as to who Friends of Noah is, there will be an information table on 3.5 and 3.16 which are higher-traffic days of the month.  Volunteer(s) are needed for 2-hour shifts.

  • Stoughton:  The Crazy Dog Mom, a pet boutique, is hosting a monthly ‘community focused shopping night’.  Each month will feature a different non-profit.  Friends of Noah has been selected as the non-profit for March.  This event will be held on 3/28 from 5-7pm.  Adoptable dogs are welcome to attend (if available).  Volunteer(s) will be on hand to answer questions and provide handouts.  

  • Evansville Family Fun Night and Beloit Winter Farmers are 4/12 and 4/13 respectively.  These events will be child-focused and SAFE materials will be provided.  Dawn will check with those event coordinators to see if Trish would be able to bring Willy to either of these.
