Auctions for funds

  • Clanwilliam Animal Welfare Society hold auctions to raise funds for mass sterilisation drives in Clanwilliam.
  • We have had a few negative comments about it but no suggestions as how we are expected to otherwise raise funds for these events without outside assistance.
  • I asked the people out there what they thought and here are a few replies.

    Thank you once again for the support without you we would not be able to do good work!


  •  
  • For those of you who do not agree with the auctions that CLAWS hold, please let us know if you have a better idea to bring in money every month, without the help of other organistions, and without the help of the municipality. We have alot of work to do and we are not going to let small obstacles stand in our way. We have proved that we can get on with out the help because we try. We have done more sterilisations than many smaller organisations who do recieve benefits.

APRIL STERI DRIVE

Welcome!

We are planning to host the next mass sterilisation event in April this year.

Making a life time difference to animals,

help us by clearing out any unwanted items in your home.

The benefits of an uncluttered home are amazing! You can find thing you have forgotten you had J

I'ts fun and exciting to venture into the forgotten back cupboard, and if you find things that are not useful to you anymore, you can donate them to CLAWS.

We sell the goods to raise the much needed funds to host the mass sterilisation drives in this area.

Thank you for your contribution

Festive Season

Hiya!

So the end of the year is upon us, time for chilling and having fun!

Relaxation and party time J! CLAWS is doing the last sterilisation drive for the year on 21 and 22 November 2011.

CLAWS is helping to make the season more bearable for a few animals out there!

Our 'impossible' target of sterilising 500 animals in one year is short of 50…

If you would like to be part of the very impressive achievement as a sponsor please feel free to make a donation no matter how small to CLAWS J to help us achieve this goal!

This will be preventing 480 000 unwanted pups and kittens!

Thank you for your help have a beautiful day

May Love Peace and Happiness surround you forever

Team CLAWS

Note from the Chairperson September 2011


Hello All and Thank you
We had great success with the last sterilisation drive!
Thank you to all our volunteers for your help and care we would not have been able to do this without your help.
Thank you to the
Freemasons for letting us use the Masonic lodge for the sterilisation drive, it was a great success!
Thank you to VETSOL, Daggie and Charl for doing a great job and many, many sterilisations and castrations. The volunteers and people in town had seen them on 50/50 the volunteers felt like the job was even more important. Working with famous people adds a bit extra. With the help of some energade and coffee the opp's went very well. Even with the bad smells and fat dogs everyone was still smiling J
Thank you to Nat for coming out all the way from CT to help us out in Clanwilliam, Surely our finest member. Nat is a very bus and very hard working and she always makes time to come up and help us out with the sterilisation drive. Nat is the most reliable person I know and she has never let CLAWS down. Nat once again helped us out with blankets for the drive and tags for the patients - Thank you! Nat was the vets extra hand. On the second night she said she'd seen enough testicles! We appreciate all your help and all your efforts, even when you are busy with major work you are still in Clanwilliam. A superwoman, Keep smiling Nat, happy you had some fresh clothes in the car!
Thank you to Venessa and Lizette for handling the entrance and filling in the books for the patients. Through mad rushes and people who couldn't speak or know who they were or their own numbers she kept her cool and handled everything. Up early and at the lodge before the rest of us, opening up and ready for action all three days. Thanks to Venessa I always knew where my phone and car keys were! Venessa also made all the necessary phone calls to the owners and arrangements for the day to run smoothly. Thank you.
Thank you to Lizette and Dawie for helping to carry and drive patient to the surgery and home when possible, it was a great help.
Thank you to Anton for helping to lift all the heavy gear and set up the lodge. Your help is much appreciated and without you we would not have had the place sorted as well as we did. The cleaning and setting up was done on the Wednesday before. Thank you to you and Lynn for doing the lunch on day one too!


Thank you to Cheryl for all her support and popping in to offer a kind word of encouragement when needed. Thank you to Joseph for helping to lift the heavy gear and taking time off your lunch break to help us.



Thank you to the Oudrif staff, Jacolien, Marinda, Leesie and Wendy you did a great job. Thank you for not always running away when your stomachs turned!

Thank you to Bill, Venessa and Jacolien that got bitten trying to help catch the mad 'worsie'! I hope the wounds heal quickly. I think we did a great job and I'm proud to be part of CLAWS with people like you to make it work and achieve the best results possible. Thank you Bill for driving the patients on your first day off from work in September, it is appreciated and it made a big difference, thank you for letting me use your car.
Thank you to Maria and Giel for helping us out and I hope you both had enough to eat while you helped us out. Thank you for helping us clean up and pack up at the beginning and at the end of the day.
I was hoping to sterilise 500 animals in one year but we have reached a 400 mark so far. At this Drive we sterilised 102 animals!
I am happy to work with and in an organisation that works well together and gets things done and not just talk about it. Thank you for a good year and I'm glad we achieved what we have in 2011.
The work we have done had made a huge difference in the lives of many animals in Clanwilliam that is what is important
May Love, Peace and Happiness surround you always.

Our Future

Teaching them to care
