Thank you to all of our clients and friends of Countryside for making this holiday season special for so many pets and people in our community.
The Hill's/Science Diet Angel Food Drive was a great success. Through your purchases of Hill's Prescription and Science Diet foods this holiday season at Countryside, you helped raise over $500 that will go to pets in need at local shelters in our area.
Countryside participated for the first time this year in Chelmsford's, Muffins with Santa Project. This project was overseen and created by the group, Chelmsford Women of Today. We recently learned that over $1,300.00 was raised and that 3 needy children in the Chelmsford area had a joyous Christmas as a result, and that the rest of the money will help fund other worthy projects in the Spring of 2011.
Also new to us this year, we participated in the 106.3 Frank FM, food drive to help out human families this holiday season. Our own Joan Bartlett, a Client Relation Specialist here at Countryside, encouraged staff and clients to participate. She decorated a fancy box to resemble a present and displayed it in our waiting room. Joan delivered all of the donations received at Countryside, to Market Basket in Chelmsford to help the Merrimack Valley Food Bank. Overall with the other area donations, the Food Bank reached 1600 pounds of food and over $3500 in donations. Thank you Joan, we look forward to participating in this event next year as well!
The facebook fanpage holiday photo contest was so much fun. We can't begin to tell you how pleased we were at the quality of the photo submissions and all of the thought and effort that you put forth to provide us with those photos and brighten the spirits of our facebook followers this holiday season.
Lastly, today, this New Year's Eve, as we fast approach the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, we wish you all and your pets, a happy and healthy 2011.
