Hello Friends!
After many growing pains, we are
having a great time! Our Thrift Store is open on the
1st and last Saturday of each month. Furniture seems to be
the best seller! We have found that many people have been
thrilled with their bargains of lawn furniture, plumbing
supplies, shutters, bar stools, sinks, comforters &
curtains, dishes, micro-waves, washers and dryers! These
treasures are donated through the kindness of so many
people's hearts! Please come shop, but also please donate!
Christmas on the River is
going to be a big event at our store! We will sell hotdogs,
home made chili, deserts... and remember that delicious BBQ
that was always cooked up at "THE PIG"??? Guess What???
Virginia Overstreet is cooking and selling her awarding
winning BBQ!! Supply will be limited so come eat with us
early! Also, Christmas Decorations will be sold along with
anything in the store!
To help us make this a big sale day...please call and we
will pick up furniture if you cannot bring it. Call
334-289-0556 and our President, Rebecca Baker, will
coordinate a pickup.
If anyone has pecans they
would like to donate to us, please bring and we will have
them cracked and then sell in our store. Thank you all for
your support in our efforts to raise money to have animals
spayed/neutered and adopted to loving homes.
Bigbee Humane has about 15
dogs being fostered at this time. They will have to be
adopted before we can take on more, so please tell your
friends from afar that we would love to place them with a
good 4-legged friend.
Our future plans entail many
fund raisers and grants, and someday having a Sanctuary for
homeless animals to stay until they can be adopted. Please
keep this endeavor in your prayers.
I am forever grateful for the
opportunity to have served Bigbee as President for 2 years,
and now I am Secretary; Rebecca Baker is our President;
Donna Barham is Vice-President; Cindy McDonald is
Treasurer. We have Virginia Overstreet, Olivialee Hall,
Rosemary Shows, Savanna Barkley, Becky Rhodes and Bonnie
Miller on our Board of Directors. Bonnie Miller is Cruelty
Investigator for Greene County, and I am for
Marengo. Rebecca is such a good leader and works to keep
everything going at a steady pace.
Keep us all uplifted in your
prayers that we can all together make a difference in how
animals are treated in our areas. All of us struggle and
rejoice together, so we each urge you to talk with your city
and county representatives. Let them know that we need
them to support us financially and legally. Also email our
state government on issues that you feel need attention.
Bigbee Humane Society is a
501-C organization so all donations are tax deductible!
All Bigbee members beg for
your prayers and support! May God Continue to Walk With Us
to Keep Us Dedicated To Helpless Animals!
