3rd annual Spay-Ghetti Dinner to be held Saturday night
NORWICH – The third annual Spay-Ghetti Dinner to benefit All Animals Matter, Inc. (AAM), will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Norwich Fire Station. Proceeds from the event will benefit pet owners in need of financial aid in spaying or neutering their animals, or for medical emergencies.
Although the event has been around for the past three years, this will be the first year the Chenango SPCA will be in attendance.
“They have invited us to come and I think it’s going to be a great,” said CSPCA Executive Director Annette Clarke. “It’s a good opportunity for two rescues to get together and promote what we are all about, which is finding animals’ forever homes.”
The CSPCA will be bring a few adoptable animals in need of a caring family to go home with, and word on the street is the itinerary of adoptable pets will include at least one puppy and a number of kittens.
“It’s always a pleasure to see an animal go home with a family that will shower them with affection,” said Clarke.
Saturday’s event will feature plenty of good eating, as well, including 300 meatballs prepared by event organizer Diane Troxell, who along with her husband owns Gallery 3-2-1 in Oxford. Take-out will also be available. Animal loving artists have also donated their work for the event’s silent auction, which has grown in popularity over the years. Approximately 250 people attended last year's dinner and organizers are anticipating a crowd of between 250 and 300 for this year’s.
“We depend on people to come out for the annual event because it is our biggest fundraiser of the year,” said Troxell.
Many of the people who attend are also recipients of the AAM’s services, which include financial aid for spaying and neutering animals as well as for medical emergencies.
Part of the proceeds will benefit the “Krista L. Bartle 4 Paw Friends Fund.” The fund was established by Krista's family in honor of their daughter, who passed away unexpectedly and nurtured a deep love for all animals. Since it's establishment, the fund has raised an estimated $8,000 which is used to help all animals, such as the recent placement of a pot-bellied pig named Blossom.
The AAM Pet Food Bank will also be on hand accepting pet food donations.
“I have always been an animal advocate. If we don’t take care of the problem of overpopulation a lot of animals will die from neglect and starvation.” said Troxell, pointing to the wild cat catch, neuter, and release program as an example for how the problem of overpopulation can be offset.
Admission to Saturday's dinner is $8 for adults, $5 for kids, and kids five and under will receive free entry.
