Portsmouth Service League St. Puppies Day
Sponsors and organizers of St. Puppies Day, a fundraising bash aimed at raising money for the Portsmouth Humane Society deemed the well-attended event a huge success. Supporters braved the wet, cold evening to enjoy tasty fare and beverages at Roger Brown's Restaurant & Sports Bar, which donated proceeds of sales to PHS. Members of the provisional class of the Portsmouth Service League donated their time to organize and host the fun-filled fundraiser that included drawings for prizes and entertainment by the band, More Cowbell. Guests received a free raffle ticket with a donation of food or other supplies for the shelter.
Members of the Portsmouth Service League greeted and thanked guests, ran the raffle and were cheerful ambassadors of good will. From left: Betsy Beaman, Katie Blanchard, Ashleigh Tullar, Anne Morgan-Marshall, Lauren Sawyer, Stacy Adams; and Andrea McMurran.
