BEAT the Buckeyes & THANK YOU Dr. Laura!!!

It's game day Trojans! Tonight's viewing party will be at 8:00 PM at Beef O'Bradys which is at 6303 N. Elm Street (just north of Pisgah Church) just after the gas station on the NE corner. I hope to see you there!

Special thanks go out to Dr. Laura S., and her husband Ken and son Cal for their generous donation to help me build "George Tirebiter's House."



I am getting closer to my goal to raise enough money to build this sturdy shelter for some needy animals at the Garden of Life for Pets Animal Sanctuary, which is part of the Carolina Veterinary Assistance and Adoption Group (CVAAG). You can visit our new website at http://www.carolinavetasst.com and learn more about our organization.

Enjoy your Saturday and I hope to see you tonight for the BIG game!

Fight On!

Two More Weeks!

Oh yeah Baby! Just two more weeks until kickoff, I'll have the San Jose State game watching party location up this week, which will be in Greensboro.

Ohio State will probably be in Winston-Salem since there is a large contingent of tOSU fans that goes to the Fox and Hound at the Thruway Center off Stratford Road. I believe it would be fun to be part of a large group to watch that game. Perhaps the Greensboro gang can get together and carpool to W-S for the game...although we won't be able to Erin B.'s new Mini Cooper. =P

Keep your eyes out for folks donning the Cardinal & Gold around town, we may find some more new faces to join our group.

Also, I hope that you have read my story about "George Tirebiter's House" which I am raising money for to help the Garden of Life for Pets, a no-kill animal shelter in Reidsville which Sylvia and I are on the Board of Directors. I received my first donation, and I have a second one coming this week. My hope is once we build this first house, I can then start rallying the local UNC, WF, NC State and Duke fans to have them raise money to build their houses. ANY donation is appreciated and no donation is too small.

Help Build "George Tirebiter's House."

Hey Trojans:

I hope you are enjoying the last few weeks of summer as we head into "the most wonderful time of the year" (for me at least). Kickoff against San Jose State is a little over 3 weeks away, so I wanted to share with you something that is important to me.

My wife, Sylvia and I are on the Board of Directors of a wonderful organization called Carolina Veterinary Assistance & Adoption Group. We help neglected, abandoned and abused dogs and cats return to good health, and aggressively try to find loving homes for them. I am involved with a very important part of this organization called the "Garden of Life for Pets" a no-kill animal sanctuary where we rehab the pets and house them until they can be adopted.

Recently, we had a wonderful anonymous donation of over $3,000 which helped us build four kennel runs for the dogs. However, they need proper housing to help protect the animals in the winter. So I have made it my mission to ask my USC friends to help sponsor "George Tirebiter's House" by raising $500 so we can build the house shown below.

George Tirebiter's House

The is a fully lined well-built structure that has a removable wind guard for winter which creates a warm area inside for the dogs to rest. In the summer, the guard is removed to allow better air flow and keep the house cool. The center window would NOT be included as that is where the "warm zone" is inside.

EVERY DONATION COUNTS! $25, $50, $5, it doesn't matter. NO DONATION IS TOO LITTLE. Rockingham county where our sanctuary is located has a euthanasia rate of 75% - 95%! The animals are only given 3 days to live in the Rockingham animal shelter before they are put down, we are trying to change that and with your help we can.

Please send your donation (made payable to CVAAG) to:

CVAAG

Greensboro, NC 27405

Please memo the check "George's House."

From my heart I thank you for your help, and more importantly every pet we save from being killed will thank you.

Fight On!
Andrew
