Animal Shelter Fundraiser in Orrmond Beach on March 30

A silent auction and cocktail party to raise funds for Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter will be Saturday, March 30, in Ormond Beach from 6-9 PM. This will be the second annual Spring Cocktail Party and Silent Auction, at the home of members Jerry and Denise Siennicki in The Trails.

Amy Wade-Carotenuto, the founder and executive director of Rescued Hearts, said, “This will help us so much in our efforts to reach our goal for 2010 of finding and buying the land to build the Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter."

Rescued Hearts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that organized in 2007 to help find homes for displaced or neglected animals in Volusia and Flagler counties, places dogs and cats in foster homes until they are adopted or until their “state-of-the-art-with-heart” shelter is built, she said.

The agency’s short-term goal is to obtain land in west Volusia and construct a facility to help decrease local government’s cost to house unwanted animals. The group’s other aims include setting up an aggressive spay/neuter program and finding ways to help animals stay at home so they won’t need to be given up.

Those attending the benefit can sample cuisine by chef Kevin Moore of Moore Fine Foods and sip cocktails from a deck overlooking the Tomoka River. The silent auction of artwork and gifts will include Walt Disney World tickets and a framed limited-edition lithograph by Thomas Kinkade.

Tickets are $25, and all proceeds will go to the group’s Property Acquisition Fund. For reservations, call Judy Thompson at 386-252-1050.
