The Claiborne Animal Shelter's second annual pancake breakfast was a resounding success! Special thanks to the Good Dog Training Club for their generous donation toward the purchase of the fixin's, and to Reverand Charles Mattson of the New Tazewell United Methodist Church for his support and for the use of the Fellowhip Hall.
We saw many of our old friends, met lots of new ones, and sent carry out breakfasts to a whole slew of folks who weren't able to attend. Mayor Joe Tyler Duncan stopped by to pick up a carry out, thanks for your support, Mayor Duncan! There was a special guest appearance by a recently rescued stray puppy named Jack, who acted as the 2009 Canine Ambassador of Goodwill and as a reminder of what this is all about.
Breakfast ticket sales plus revenue from selling t-shirts and raffle tickets (to a one-day pontoon rental donated by Cedar Grove Marina), will cover more than a third of cost of the fence installation at the shelter property!
Congratulations to Carol Dunafer, the lucky winner of the pontoon rental.

The generosity of this community is as spectacular as it is heartwarming; together we WILL make a difference!
