Pre-Show Fundraising Raffle Items

As promised, here are some pictures of the great prizes we have for this year's Pre-Show Fundraising Raffle, which is now underway. The raffle draw will take place at the Show on June 6, 2009 at the Capital Exhibit Centre.

We have three fabulous prizes to be drawn for:

1st - A cat themed, throw-size, “Cabin Cats” Rag Quilt (made by Louise Washburn and Sherry Pellerin)

2nd - Oak Cat Bed with Royal Canin Cat Food and Tunnel Toy (donated by Thompson Tigers and Royal Canin)

3rd - Feline Funky Lunch Bag with matching napkins, cutlery, and ice pack (made by Joan Gamble)

Please call Bev Amos, 459-2780, to get some tickets to sell and a poster to have with you so you can show people what the prizes are (and don’t forget to ask for lots of tickets because you’ll want to buy a bunch for yourself when you see these prizes!). If you have a place at work or elsewhere you can put up the poster, you can write your name on it with a note asking people to see you for tickets.

Ticket prices are:

1 for $1

3 for $2

9 for $5

Cat Show Workshop THIS WEEKEND!

It isn't too late to sign up for this weekend's cat show workshop! Please spread the word to all those "newbies" who might like to show a cat in this year's show. If you come to the workshop, it doesn't mean you are committing to attend the show. It's more of a dry run. If things go well for you and your kitty, then we hope you'll sign up for June 6. If you or your kitty are too stressed by the process, then that's okay, too! This is just meant to gently ease you in to the world of exhibiting. So please, come out to the Barking Lot this Saturday between 2 and 4, at 880 Hanwell Road, and don't forget to let Bev know that you're coming.

P.S. Listen for our announcement tomorrow morning on CBC's Information Morning, with Terry Seguin. Then, take a moment to drop Terry an email (infoam@fredericton.cbc.ca) thanking him for helping us out, and letting him know that there are lots of cat lovers in his "vast listening audience".

Raffle underway, and less than 2 weeks until the FREE Cat Show Workshop

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Everyone!

It's a sure sign that spring is approaching, and that means that the show is quickly approaching as well. One of our important fundraising activities is the Show Raffle, which was kicked off by Sherry Pellerin and Diane Patterson at Champlain Mall in Moncton on March 14. We're taking a break from the cat trees this time around (not that they aren't lovely!), and have some new prizes to entice you and your friends.

We have first, second and third prizes (with photos to follow soon):

First prize is a “Log Cabin Cat” Quilt. This quilt was made by Louise Washburn and Sherry Pellerin.

Second prize is an Oak Cat bed donated by the Thompson Tigers and a medium size bag of Indoor Royal Canin Cat food donated by Royal Canin pet food company.

Third Prize is a reusable lunch bag in Laurel Burch cat motif donated by Joan Gamble.

Tickets for these wonderful prizes will be available at the Club meeting on Sunday, and we are encouraging members to try to sell tickets for this raffle. We will also be selling them at the club table during the next 2 months at the various malls.

Tickets prices are:

1 ticket for $1.00
3 tickets for $2.00
9 tickets for $5.00.

The draw will take place on Saturday, June 6 at the Show.

Also, just a reminder that the FREE Cat Show Workshop is coming up on Saturday, March 28 from 2-4 pm at the Barking Lot (see previous post). There is still room available, so please consider signing up. Even if you aren't 100% sure you want to exhibit, you can still come to the Workshop.

Cat Show Workshop

Now that registration for the show is officially open, we know there are a lot of you out there who are thinking about signing up. We also know that if you're a "first-timer", you might be a bit nervous, and not quite sure what to expect from a cat show. In order to put your mind at ease the Club is holding a Cat Show Workshop, which will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about exhibiting your cat in an ACFA show. The workshop will take place on Saturday, March 28, from 2-4 pm at the Barking Lot, 880 Hanwell Road. There is NO CHARGE for the show, but we're asking that you register with Bev, at 506-459-2780, as seating is very limited.

Below is the poster for the event. We would be eternally grateful if you are able to print some off and put them up around town! :)

Pet Memorials

This is just a very brief post to let you know that again this year, a portion of the show Spectator Program is being dedicated to remembering the little souls we have loved and lost. If you would like to honour the memory of your pet by placing a memorial in the program there are several formats available, ranging from a one-line tribute (45 characters), up to a full 6"x7" page (even including a photo, if you wish). If you would like to publicly remember your companion in this way, please contact Sherry at spellerin@hotmail.com for pricing and formatting information.

Entry Forms

As promised, here are the last two forms you will need to register for the cat show. The first link will take you to the Chickadee Cat Club's Entry Summary form. This lists all of the entry fees for exhibiting cats and other associated costs. The second link will take you to the ACFA Show Entry Form. If you are entering a single cat, you need to fill out one of each form. For multiple entries, just fill out the Chickadee Cat Club's form once, but EACH CAT will need to have an ACFA form filled out. As always, if you need a hand there are lots of experienced people waiting to help you.
