Across all 500 pets + their people purchased:

Sunday Dec 15 I'll be at the Duncan Guide Hall Craft Fair at 331 Cairnsmore St in Duncan. I'm looking forward to meeting all the local pets and pet families that come out for this important fundraiser!

The Guide Hall was purchased and built by guiding families over 100 years ago and is still used regularly by youth in the area. This fundraiser will direct funds to continued building improvements, notably toilets, a vitally important infrastructure improvement for women and girls the world over.
