American Greyhound is gearing up for what promises to be the most important
event in our history, the 1st annual American Greyhound Auction “Winning Hearts, not
Races”. The event will be held at The Avalon in Merrillville Indiana, on October 30th, 2010,
beginning at 5:00 PM.
The auction will begin with a large silent auction starting at 5:00. Around 7:00 we will
be seated for dinner and the live auction will begin. We are looking forward to a fun,
exciting and entertaining evening for our patrons, and a very successful auction for our
hounds.
If anyone is interested in making a donation for our auction, they can contact Christine
Springsteen, our Acquisition Chair , at (708)418-8346 or e-mail her at acssteen@att.net .
American Greyhound is a 501c3, not-for-profit corporation, and all donations are
deductible to the extent allowed by law.
If you are interested in attending the auction, we will soon have a link to purchase
tickets up on this web site. If you would like more information about the auction, contact
Jeff Coggins, the Auction Chair, at (219)771-0892 or e-mail at
president@americangreyhound.org .
American Greyhound has seen an unprecedented increase in the number of retired
racers we are able to rescue and place into permanent homes in the last 6 months. By the
end of July we expect to be very close to 100 dogs rescued for the year. Our prison
partnership with Second Chance at Life has also seen a steady growth to 9 dogs in the
prison at all times and those coming off the prison moving into adoptive homes quickly.
As a result of this fantastic growth, we are looking for more people who want to be a
part of this burgeoning organization. We can always use your help, and maybe some your
skills are exactly what we need! A few of the positions we would like to see filled are:
-Events coordinator- We would like to have someone to coordinate event dates, assign
volunteers to staff those dates, interface with Pet stores, etc. We’d like someone with good
organizational skills, but the job would not require a lot of your time.
-Graphics- We would like to find someone with some experience to create print materials
for the organization(invitations, literature, etc). Once again, not a lot of time, but there are
ideas we have that we just haven’t had the time(or skills) to put into place.
-Mentoring- We already have a few people in place, but would like to add a couple more.
Mentors would help our adoptive families with problems that arise with their hounds.
Maybe you’ve experienced some of these issues with your hound, and now are able to
pass your knowledge on to someone else.
If you are interested in any of these positions, give Jeff Coggins a call at (219)771-0892
or e-mail at president@americangreyhound.org . We are becoming more and more
successful at what we do, and want more and more people involved with doing it. In the
past there has always been a small group of big gears turning the American Greyhound
machine. In the future, we want dozens and dozens of small cogs turning that machine.
