ABERDEEN NEWS — The vet bills for Aberdeen's CARE animal rescue organisation are mounting, and founder Maureen MacAndrew is kept on her toes trying to find new ways to bring in some much-needed funds.
CARE is involved with treated sick and injured township animals, and often this involves trips to the vets in Graaff-Reinet, incurring not only petrol costs but also veterinary bills. Most owners are able to pay only a fraction of the costs if indeed anything at all.
For the latest fundraiser, Aberdeen resident and animal lover Glynis Luiters offered to sponsor a voucher for a meal for two at Georg, the new restaurant in Aberdeen. This was well supported, bringing in a substantial percentage of the outstanding account. The prize, a R400 voucher, was won by local resident Ian Reed.
Anyone who would like to contribute directly to CARE's veterinary account at Camdeboo Vet clinic can do so using the reference CARE 463. The vets' account is at Standard Bank, account number 082528799.
Maureen would like to thank all of those who supported the raffle, as well as those who quietly "do their bit" to help in so many ways.
