A Shout Out to the Kids of Claiborne County

Hey all you first to third grade kids in Claiborne County - the Claiborne Animal Shelter wants to hear from you!

About what? What else - the Animal Shelter!

Now that the building is being built, we need to start thinking about the next step: What exactly is the Animal Shelter going to do?

Do you have an idea? If so, we'd love to know what it is. Everyone who sends us an idea will automatically have his or her name entered into a drawing and three of you will win a prize!

Here's how it'll work:

1. Write down your idea.
2. Include your name, age, phone number, name of school, and what grade you're in. (REMEMBER, this is for first to third graders - if you're in a higher grade, we'll have a chance for you to send us an idea in October.)
3. Ask a parent or guardian to sign your paper so we know you have their permission to participate.
4. Mail your idea to: Claiborne Animal Shelter, P.O. Box 186, Tazewell, TN 37879
5. We need to receive it no later than Thursday, September 17 because...
6. The drawing for the three prizes is on Friday, September 18.

The First name drawn wins a way cool animal shelter t-shirt.

The Second and Third names win a highly collectible Claiborne Animal Shelter lapel pin.

Even if you don't win a prize, your name and your idea will be posted on this blog. Fame, at last!

So, put your pencil to paper and help us figure out what the most important thing is that our Animal Shelter will do. We can't wait to hear from you!
