BAD NEWS - GOOD, BETTER & BEST NEWS!

BAD NEWS THE 6TH ANNUAL VGSR GOLF TOURNAMENT IS NOW A SOLD OUT EVENT FOR GOLFERS!  Registration is now closed to players.

GOOD NEWS - We now have a sold out event 6 weeks prior to the Tournament.

BETTER NEWS - Sponsorships are still needed, dinner reservations are still available, and auction donations are being accepted!  Everyone still has the opportunity to participate in this FUNdraising event.  We are extending a special invitation to all VGSR volunteers to come out, meet old friends and new, two and four-legged  to enjoy the biggest public FUNdraising event of the year at the 6th Annual VGSR Golf Tournament & Auction, October 4, at Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club, Front Royal.

BEST NEWS
- I am very happy to announce (drum roll please)..... VOLUNTEER EXTRAORDINAIRE, LEA, will be emcee for this year's event.  As one of the founding members, Lea was saving dogs before VGSR was officially born -  "hosting" adoption days many times with only 1 dog, a card table, donation jug and 1 or 2 friends to help present the mission of rescue.  Lea, a gifted public speaker with a contagious passion for the dogs, is truly one of the "First Ladies of VGSR".  

We are going to need lots of "hands-on-deck" throughout the day.  Help is needed from 8AM setup through late evening load out and all the hours in between!  Help is needed for the registration table; clerks for the auction; working dogs with handlers; extra hands for the dogs; hosts and hostesses for our guests; cheerleaders for the players; Putting Contest judges; selling 50/50 raffle tickets; and many other fun tasks. 

Head Count for the dinner has to be in no later than Sept. 20.  Please register ($25 per person) as soon as possible.   

Many thanks to all the volunteers who have been working for the past 6 months to make this event the best it can be!    Plan now to give them a hand on October 4!
