Fund raising is always an important part of non-profit organizations. Sometimes it involves hard work and long hours, but without our fund raising efforts combined with grants from some very important and helpful foundations, we could not continue our efforts. We have several important fund raising events planned for this year and we always need volunteers to help plan and staff the events. This year's fund raising events will include:
 | Office Expansion and Veterinary Service Program Facility Campaign: We are expanding our office into the adjacent unit, adding 700 square feet to become our new adoptions center. This space will serve for our Saturday morning adoption displays for dogs and will provide room for our business office as well. Our current offices will then be converted into our veterinary facility and an adoption area for cats where we can also house a small number of cats when we don't have adequate numbers of foster homes. IMHS will share the veterinary facility with Peak Veterinary Service, a mobile equine practice, allowing much of the laboratory equipment and some other equipment, thus reducing costs to IMHS. This also allow IMHS Executive Director, Dr. Kevin Dennison, to work part-time with both organizations without having to change locations. In all, this makes for a very efficient use of Dr. Dennison's time. IMHS will have over 1100 square feet with which to assist homeless and unwanted pets in our community. IMHS is currently conducting a campaign to raise funds for the ongoing construction of this facility. We will commemorate this facility with a permanent dedication marker placed in the adoption center in public view. This marker will list all contributors of $100 or more in funds or "in-kind" contributions toward construction, office equipment, veterinary equipment and initial inventory of veterinary supplies. This marker will remain on-site for as long as the facility is in use and will provide excellent recognition for business supporters. Please call 303-838-2668 for more information or mail your contribution to IMHS, P.O. Box 1250, Conifer, CO 80433. Please indicate that your contribution is for the Adoption Center/VSP Fund.

| Coin Collection at local businesses. We are upgrading our coin collection efforts along the Highway 285 corridor community. Our cooperative arrangements with Park County Animal Control have increased our numbers of foster animals and our costs for veterinary fees and supplies. If your business doesn't have an IMHS collection box, please let us know and we will bring you one!!! If you frequent a business that does not have a collection box, please suggest that they contact us about a box. |
