To whom it may concern,
Well it is time for our annual BBQ, raffle and silent auction. I know you are about to hit the delete button, but please don’t. We are a non-profit 501 (c) 3 registered and also a state licensed tropical parrot shelter located in Appling Ga. Every Memorial day weekend we hold a giant BBQ, raffle and silent auction to help raise money for several reasons.
