Jett loves David Rosenfelt
Written by Jett Greyhound
In case your are clueless, I am the JETT-Setter.
The photo on top is me and my person meeting the world-famous mystery writer David Rosenfelt. My person coordinated a fundraiser for GREY2K USA and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. In this photo we are at Clues Unlimited mystery bookstore in Tucson. A big kissy THANK YOU goes to Chris Burke and to Mr. Rosenfelt for permitting this awesomely fun and fundraising event to happen.
Chris has a greyhound named Canelo and he’s the store dog. A Golden Retriever was also present but when I tried to make friends, all I got were growls so that was that. I worked the people crowd instead. Jerry and Kathy Tucker are my new best friends and Auntie Jean Rettus always makes me smile.
People bought chances to have their pet’s name in David Rosenfelt’s next book. Lots of greyhounds were entered plus other dog breeds as well as cats and three pot-bellied pigs from 24 states and the UK. As luck would have it, Cuveé won! Cuveé lives in Tucson and greets customers at CataVinos Wine Shoppe.
Won the mystery contest!
Aside from a famous author, I have met Kyra Batte, Miss Pima County 2011. She is pretty, sparkly, and smells nice. I went to a photo shoot for The Pet Friendly Traveler. Our friend Edie Jarolim wrote the script and I was one of a few dogs paw-stur-ing in front of the camera. I’m a natural. I’m in this video!
Much more in my life has happened as I have many more 4-legged friends now but I’ll save that for next time…
Until then…what you see is what you JETT…Greyhound – xox

Beading Divas to the Rescue on vacation July 2011 2011/07/01
Posted by greyhoundsrule in Beading Divas to the Rescue.1 comment so far
Beading Divas to the Rescue will be on vacation during the entire month of July. That means there will be no designated charity for July and no funds raised for July.
So far this year, the demand for our bracelets and fulfillment has been high.
Aside from the core group of seven — Angy Shearer, Cynthia David, Glenda Taylor, Lizzie Mead, Loren Dawn, Michelle Caillet, and myself Karyn Zoldan — we are fortunate to have Noni Davis who is our bracelet maker extraordinaire as well as Sandra Luckau, who not only makes bracelets but takes them to sell where she works. Then there’s Joan Athey and a few more whose names I need to look up.
We recently had a woman out of the blue bring us some bracelets to sell for fundraiser.
During the month of April, greyhound adopter & fellow beader Alice Jordan took bracelets to work to sell and her employer matched the amount sold at the office. Wow!
Our little idea which started to pay off an astronomical vet bill has blossomed quite nicely. I so enjoy knowing and working with these creative women.
We all need a break especially Lizzie who did the bulk of the fulfillment and Michelle who is our star photographer.
See you in August with new energy and a new animal charity!
If you have beads to donate, please email karynzoldan@yahoo.com or drop them off at CataVinos Wine Shoppe, 3063 N. Alvernon Way (1 block south of Ft. Lowell). Yvonne says she is happy to collect beads on our behalf.
