Carolina Canines for Service Kicks Off its Newest Fundraising Effort with a Bang! Carolina Canines for Service will be kicking off our newest fundraising effort by holding an event for our volunteers. The event will be held on Saturday August 1st, 2009 starting at 12pm and running until 2pm. The Board will be serving hot dogs and beverages. We’re very excited because we have an opportunity to EASILY raise enough money to complete the advanced training for three service dogs. This is also a great opportunity to meet other passionate CCFS volunteers as well as our Board of Directors. The event will be held at the Carolina Canines for Service office located at 1200 N. 23rd St. Suite 101 in Wilmington, NC. We hope that many of our volunteers will be able to attend the event and learn about this exciting new opportunity. Friends and family are welcome and we look forward to seeing you there!
