for the animals - Chemung County SPCA

Fundraising Update
2009 started off with a lot of questions:
• Would we still be open at the end of
the year?
• Would we be able to provide the
same level of services?
• Would we be able to reach our fund
raising goal?
Fortunately, the answer to all of those
questions is “Yes.” Thanks to our
community, thanks to YOU, we are
open and able to care for the thousands
of animals a year that come
through our doors.
As mentioned in Board President
Darryl Heckle’s message, challenging
times are still ahead of us and we
hope we can count on your support
again this year.
To our end, we are exploring new
ways of raising money and saving
money, all while continuing to provide
the same high levels of service.
We recently began working with a
direct marketing agency, Alpha Dog
Marketing, to produce some of our
solicitation mailings, and in fact,
you have probably already received
one from them. Their clean, crisp,
professional marketing materials have
been well-received and have started
us off on the right foot for fundraising
success. Thanks to Alpha Dog, we are
able to reach more people in a much
more cost-effective way.
We are also happy to welcome back
Leanne Falkingham as our Animal
Behavior, Training and Outreach
Manager. In this role, Leanne will be
adding a new service to the community
by conducting trainings and
classes for the general public for a fee
that will provide income to the shelter.
This income will help to offset
the cost of adoptions – as mentioned
on Page 5. Due to staff restructuring,
this position was made possible
without adding to the total number of
personnel.
As always, we appreciate your donations.
We know that times are tough,
and that is why your generous gifts
mean so much to us. If the animals
could talk, we know they’d say
“Thank you,” too.
Nov. 1, 2009 to April 1, 2010
In an effort to save on production
costs for “For the
Animals,” expanded Memorials
and Honorariums, along
with Individual Donors, are
showcased online at
www.chemungspca.org.
We have updated our donor
software. Because of this,
there may be some in honor
of or in memory of gifts that
have been inadvertently left
off this list. If you believe this
has happened to you, please
contact Cindy Lewis-Black,
Development Coordinator at
607-732-1827, Ext. 212.
