Found a wonderful partner in H.O.P.E. for Animals

Last weekend, at the Northern Indiana Pet Expo, NOOTERS Club® partnered with H.O.P.E. for Animals spay and neuter clinic of Fort Wayne, IN. Our goal:  Encourage more people to get their pets spayed and neutered.

H.O.P.E for Animals offered special incentives on pre-paid spay and neuter services while NOOTERS Club® gave free t-shirts to the first 10 pet owners taking advantage of the offer.  NOOTERS Club® also donated $2 from each tank top, t-shirt and nightshirt sold to H.O.P.E. for Animals.

Community Outreach & Volunteer Coordinator for H.O.P.E. for Animals, Tyna Reiter, worked with NOOTERS Club® on the promotion.  Tyna and her team were phenomenal and made everything so easy.

We have never been asked so many times if we needed help – setting up and putting everything away at the end.  Thank you, Tyna and everyone at the H.O.P.E. for Animals booth!

We hope to work with H.O.P.E. again in the future!

In the meantime, we are always looking for spay neuter clinics interested in partnering with NOOTERS Club®.  If your group is interested in events to raise money or awareness for pet spay and neuter, please contact Lindaw@nootersclub.org.

Had a great time at the Northern Indiana Pet Expo

This  was our first time at the Northern Indiana Pet Expo, presented by the Allen County SPCA.

What stands out most about our visit?  How NICE everyone is in Fort Wayne!  Not sure if it’s the healthy country air or beautiful blue skies.

But we have never felt so welcome – at the Expo – and in Fort Wayne in general.

• In traffic – people actually let you go first!
• At the lovely Allen County War Memorial Coliseum – where the parking lot attendants are happy to see you!
• At the fabulous CASA restaurant across Parnell Street  from the Coliseum – best food and service ever!  (To anyone going to Fort Wayne – I highly recommend!)
• At shopping centers – where strangers  actually say hello!
• At the local Tuesday Morning where we went for gifts to take home – they called Michigan stores for us!
• And, of course, at the Northern Indiana Pet Expo — where fellow pet lovers stopped at our booth to just say hello or to go home with some of our whimsical NOOTERS Club® apparel!

What is so special about the people of Fort Wayne?  Jessica Henry of the Allen County SPCA said it’s good old fashioned “Hoosier Hospitality.”

All I know is that I went home with a smile on my face and feeling like I had just spent a weekend surrounded by good friends.

I simply can’t wait to go back!

Indiana rescues looking for auction – or fundraising — items – contact NOOTERS Club® BEFORE the Northern Indiana Pet Expo June 18-19, 2016

If your rescue group will be at the Northern Indiana Pet Expo in Fort Wayne – AND if your group is going to be holding any type of auction or silent auction soon – reach out to NOOTERS Club® NOW!

We get lots of requests for auction item donations.  We are happy to help with a few items – and love donating NOOTERS Club® items to a good cause – but shipping can get expensive.  So if your group is looking for featured items for your next event, email your request to Lindaw@nootersclub.org  or call 248-253-0300 BEFORE the Expo.  That way, we can plan ahead,  bring your items and save you the cost of shipping.

Ditto to groups that are looking for FUNDRAISING items.  NOOTERS Club® sells WHOLESALE – this means that your organization stands to make a margin of 50% or more on most items.  Example:  We sell a NOOTERS Club® t-shirt for $16 retail.  Your organization can buy the same t-shirt for $8 or $9 depending on quantity.  You can mark-up the price to whatever you would like and that money is yours to keep!

Again – email or call us before the Expo so that we can bring your order with us!  This will saves you lots of $$ on shipping!
