Amanda & Stephanie volunteered at "A Day for Kritters" Event with a make and take area June 13th at Barker Farm Park here in Menasha. They donated their time, all of the supplies and all of the money made was given to the rescue. This was an all day event raising awareness for unwanted and abandoned animals. The money made this day was to purchase food and pay for veterinarian care for all of the animals in Kritter Rescue Teams care. They set up an area for children and adults to make the large paper clip book markers. It was a project where they could stamp, color their projects in with markers or watercolor crayons, use the punches.
