Second Annual Meow & Chow Event is a “Souper Success!!”
A perfect fall evening greeted eager bingo players and animal lovers on October 15th. This was the night of the Second Annual Meow and Chow soup and bingo night fundraiser hosted by Lincoln Animal Ambassadors (LAA) and The Cat House (TCH). The event, held at the Scottish Rite Temple, featured over 12 types of soups, desserts and breads for an all you can eat feast. After everyone was full and content from such a wonderful selection of food items generously donated by several Lincoln businesses, our featured comedian, George Hametis took the floor to get the overflowing crowd in an even better mood before the main event started! Bingo callers kept the bingo games flowing with several games with many prizes won by the audience. Frequent eager winners got to pick from a wide variety of donated bingo prizes. The night was capped off with the winners of our grand prize raffle items being revealed. These four grand prizes included a gift card to Kohl’s, Nebraska volleyball tickets, a cat tower designed by BK Pet Necessities and an iPad. Event organizers and volunteers spent countless hours collecting raffle and food donations. The raffle tables were nearly double from 2010, and the variety and choices were endless! The food selection too provided such a great variety that it was hard to choose which soup to try first! LAA and TCH are grateful for the volunteers and supporters that made this night such a success. Event organizers are already considering a larger venue for 2012 which is a very exciting prospect for a two year old event. LAA and TCH would also like to thank our generous food and raffle donators. This list is too long to include in this newsletter, but the generosity made this event possible. Thanks too to everyone who came out to help make this event another “meowing” success!
