Who? Everyone who cares about
animals! Team up with family, friends, or co-workers and join the hilarious
WOKQ Morning Waking Crew, our Masters of Ceremonies. Dogs with vaccinations
current are welcome to walk on 6' leashes.
What? When? Collect pledges up
until the walk and come celebrate on Sunday, June 8, rain or shine. Registration
will begin at 10 AM with the Fun Dog Show beginning at 11:00 AM. Agility
will be ongoing, as well as lots of demonstrations, doggie wading pools,
and pet supply vendors under the tent. Food and beverages will also be
available. A Blessing of the Animals will kick off the pledge walk at 1:00
PM.
Where? Strafford County Courthouse
in Dover. Take Spaulding Turnpike, Rte. 16, to Exit 9, Sixth Street. Turn
left at the end of the ramp and follow to end. Turn right at Liberty Mutual.
Take your first left onto County Farm Road. Follow to end. Turn right into
the parking lot.
How many team members? All teams
of two or more people are welcome. Local schools, businesses and organizations
are needed to make this event a big success! Please let us know about your
team by faxing in the Team Sign-up Form in this packet.
How much should we collect? All
pledges benefit homeless animals. Encourage your sponsors to contribute
an amount for the entire walk, as this is not a multi-mile event. Collect
pledges from sponsors at the time you ask them to allow more time for you
to ask others. Super prizes and plaques for the top adult and junior team
will be awarded including your team's name on a commemorative plaque to
hang in your school, home or workplace. If your team collects the most
pledges, everyone will read about you in the local newspapers!
Do I have to have a dog? You
don't have to have a dog or even a pet to help or to walk. The walk benefits
all types of animals at the shelter. Dogs with 6' or less leash are welcome
to walk. Bring current rabies certificate and tags. Please leave cats,
small animals and females in heat, safe at home, but remember to weat their
picture when you collect pledges and as you walk!
When do we turn in our pledges? At
registration on Sunday, June 8 at 10:00 AM. For those who can't make it,
but still want to hel, send checks for pledges collected by May 30 to CVHS.
Of course, pledges will be gladly accepted even after the walk, but will
not count toward prize eligibility.
What should we bring with us?
Your team spirit! Pledge forms and pledges collected. Complete the team
registration form and bring it with you on walk day.
Should team members register individually?
Yes, you can still walk with a team and be eligible for individual prizes
to be awarded to the top three pledge collectors. Just check the box on
the pledge form.
