Sunday February 9<\/strong>, 2014, from 2-6-p.m., at Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.<\/p>\nShelley said a bill passed in the 2013 North Dakota legislative session set aside dollars to help sponsor four service dogs for vets with PTSD.<\/p>\n
The amount does not cover the total cost of each dog, which can be as high as $20,000.<\/p>\n
Karmel said, a creation of the Dale Carnegie program, Paws4WARD has developed the Purses for a Purpose, a purse exchange where new and gently used designer purses are exchanged, with general admission at $20, and the VIP admission of $25, which allows early entrance to the purse exchange. No reservations will be taken, and only 200 tickets will be sold. 100% of funds raised goes to veterans, in need of service dogs.<\/p>\n
Tickets can be ordered by calling Crystal Nehlich at 701-845-2712, or Shelley Nanenga at 701-658-0330, Quality Inn & Suites, First Community Credit Union in Jamestown, Unison Bank in Jamestown, and Dacotah Bank in Valley City. Call 701-658-0330 to have a purse picked up. Also E-Mail Shelley at: shelley@servicedogsforamerica.org<\/p>\n
They pointed out that several sponsors have come on board, and there will be a silent auction, champagne, and hor de\u2019ourves at the event. More sponsors are being accepted.<\/p>\n
More fundraisers are planned, to reach the goal of providing the four service dogs and the balance of the costs not covered in the legislative designation, which is divided among four programs in North Dakota.<\/p>\n
Upcoming fundraisers planned include Pennys for Paws, and a dart tournament with dates and locations to be announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
