WESTIE WALKERS - for Westies and Friends of Westies

Thank you all for coming to the March of the Westies Fundraising event on 30 November 2008. A total of 75 Westies are known to have attended the final Westie Walk of the year! As usual in addition, our loyal Honorary Westie Chloe the miniature poodle was present, along with a motley crew of Wannabe Westies, including labradors, a beagle and some adorable no name brands!

Altogether, the sale of raffle tickets for prizes (kindly donated by our major sponsors Zone Fresh Gourmet Markets, di Bella Coffee and the Pack at Number 58), donations, and profits made from the sale of Westie Walker caps raised over $500 for Guide Dogs Queensland. Maggie is also donating the money she raised throughout 2008 to cover the manufacturing costs of the cap to Guide Dogs Queensland as well.

Westie Walker caps cost $20 and can be ordered by email. There must be a minimum of 25 paid up requests before the manufacturing run can be processed. If there aren't 25 orders by the next walk (planned for February 2009) the money paid will be refunded. All profits from the sale of caps will be donated to Guide Dogs Queensland from Westie Walkers.

Update 3/12/2008: Our photos from the walk have been posted in the Westie Walkers flickr pool.  If you have photos from the walk, please post them to this pool on flickr too.  Membership of flickr is free, so if you're not already a member, sign up for an account.
