| Garage Sale |
Earlier this week I lost my greyhound, Ogre to cancer. Last year I lost my cat, Bella to the same disease. If you've been through this with your own pet then you know the disease is extremely painful and any kind of treatment very expensive. Many times there are no options. When there are the Popeye Animal Cancer Foundation is there to help disadvantaged owners with the financial burden. The Popeye Animal Cancer Foundation is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit organization established in May of 2005.
There is a way you can help that won't hurt your pocketbook. Consider donating household items to their upcoming garage sale. Items can be donated at the Animal Cancer and Imaging Center at 8560 Canton Center RD in Canton, MI. Anyone who has ever thrown or attended a garage sale knows how much a large selection with a good variety goes toward its success.
Even if you can't donated you can consider attending the garage sale. It is being held on October 11th from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Animal Cancer and Imaging Center. Don't worry about forgetting because I'll be posting again as the day gets closer.

Check out the 41st Annual Michigan Ceramic Dealers Association Fall Fired Arts Fantasy Supply Show! You can find values on craft supplies below retail for both beginner and advanced crafters. There will be door prizes and Make-N-Takes as well glass, clay and fusion demonstrations.
