THANK YOU FIVE GUYS!!

On Tuesday, January 27th we had our monthly benefit night at Five Guys Burgers and Fries in the Sweetbay shopping center in Riverview. We’d like to thank all the folks that came out to dinner that night and we’d like to express our gratitude to Five Guys - the corporation, Dave Rodenfels, General Manager and his crew for working hard on behalf of our animals.

“Dinner at Five Guys” is now a reality on the fourth Wednesday of the month so please mark your calendars for February 25th and every fourth Wednesday ever after. We hope to see you there and we hope you help us spread the word. Come grab a great burger and fries, or a hot dog and enjoy yourself.

VALENTINE PARTY
Feb 13th

Come out and celebrate your love for the animals! The party starts at 1:00 pm. We can also use some help for this event, so if you would like to help set up/clean up or anything else, let us know!

SPECIAL THANKS TO:

Debbie's Tree Service who not only supplied beautiful, big oak trees, but also stayed and helped to plant them! At lunch time Debbie announced that they would DONATE all the trees. These are 10 foot laurel oaks, gang! That gives the Bay Area Arbor another $2000 in their budget to do something else for those in need.
Help us thank them by calling them at (813) 966-8777 for your tree needs.

Bev Hiller and the wonderful folks with the Bay Area Arbor who came for a tour and to help plant the trees. When they arrived, the trees were being planted! Another bunch of volunteers who signed up with the Disney Give a Day Get A Disney Day program took care of it. The Arbor folks took their “Shirley Special” tour and then stayed to help shovel dirt in the cages and do some painting. At lunchtime they announced that Elmira’s would receive a $25 donation for EVERYONE that was there Saturday – Arbor members, Elmira’s volunteers and the Disney Day volunteers!

Disney day volunteers and to all the awesome volunteers who came out Saturday to plant trees and shovel dirt into the new cages

MISSION STATEMENT
We provide continuing care, life management and enrichment to exotic and wild animals in need of a home.

We also provide educational opportunities and programs, increasing community awareness of the needs of these animals.

Elmira's is located near Tampa, Florida in a rural area on the Hillsborough/Manatee County line. We rely entirely on individual donations and have no paid employees. Although we often receive donated feed and materials and discounted veterinary services, our monthly expenses are substantial. This is in addition to our need for land/moving expenses.

Please consider Elmira's the next time you are ready to make a charitable contribution. Contributions can be sent directly to the sanctuary or to make a donation online, click here.
