K9 are pleased to announce that they will be holding their CAR BOOT SALES at Happy Days, Costa del Silencio starting on Sunday 5th July. 8am till noon, (on the first sunday of the month). Our thanks goes to Pleasure Island for allowing us to use their premises in Playa de las Americas in the interim period since last April

K9 now have a stall at Alcala Market every Sunday from 9 till 1pm and also on Wednesdays at Playa San Juan Market. More clothes and bric-a-brac are now desperately needed to keep up the good work at the markets. Donations of clothes etc. may be made at the markets or direct to the kennels.

K9 would like to say a huge thank you to Wingate School pupils for the huge amount of money they have raised for us. Our president Elsie went to Wingate on the 15th of April and received a cheque for over €2700, this has been raised by the classes of the school. The school organised a sponser spell and all classes took part, money was also raised by selling unwanted toys, books, games etc. This money is much needed by K9 to pay for the food and vet bills. Once again thank you to everyone involved.

Apologies for the lack of updates over the last couple of months. This was due to a few things but including:

Hopefully I will be able to get back on track again now, starting with a makeover of this Blog.

Thanks

Stephen

Trike Tours with K9

How many of you have notice those brilliant Trikes riding (driving?) around recently?  Based down at Puerto Colon these Trikes can be hired for 1, 2, 3 & 4 hour guided tours – you choose whether to drive or whether to be driven.

As their leaflet says, this is something different to try and is totally safe.  You can arrange your tour by calling Sandy on 629 155 114, but please don’t forget to mention K9 Tenerife when you book because Trike Tours have very kindly agreed to donate 5 Euro per person to us.

In association with TENERIFE DIVE from Costa Del Silencio we are organising a TRY SCUBA DIVING in the pool at Westhaven Bay.  The aim is to raise badly needed funds and have great fun at the same time.

The cost will only be a 5 Euro donation per person to K9 with Tenerife Dive supplying all the Instructors, equipment etc free of charge.

In addition, PADI Master Instructor Yvonne, will be in the pool underwater doing a ´Breathalon¨.  Everyone can buy a ticket and guess how long Yvonne can stay underwater on 1 cylinder of air.

For non-divers the prize is a Discover Scuba dive in the sea and if the winner is already a certified diver, 1 days free diving (2 dives).  Again all proceeds will go to K9.

Anyone from 8 years to 80 years can participate and families are welcome, so why not give scuba diving a go and support K9 at the same time!  Its all happening on Sunday 14th December 2008 from 09:45hrs - don’t miss it!

If you are looking for a unique Christmas present, give a Discover Scuba or some scuba diving lessons. Details of the diving can be found on their website www.tenerifedive.com or you can email for more information to info@tenerifedive.com

Saturday, 1^st of November saw another successful Quiz Night down at The Cheshire Cat in Torviscas.  This time our Quiz Master was ‘Big Dave’ and he entertained us from just after 9.30pm until the early hours of the morning!

As well as the quiz rounds we had one or two special guests, including Jesse Garron and a fantastic young singer from the UK by the name of Chelsea – what a fabulous voice this young girl has, I am sure we will be hearing a lot more from her in the future.

We were able to sell a few more of our Calendars and also a few copies of that great new book, Tenerife Lifeline (written and edited by Leslie Beeson).  Remember that the sale price is the same price wherever you buy it from BUT if you buy it from K9 then we get a donation of 4.50 from Leslie – now that’s got to be worth thinking about, hasn’t it?

Julie and Bee from The Cheshire Cat set out with an aim to raise more money than they did at the last Quiz they held and were really pleased when the final total was announced at the end of the night (beginning of the morning!).  A very respectable figure of 452.12 Euro!

Since then a few customers that were unable to attend on the night, had a whip around and have brought the total to just over 500 Euro.

Don’t miss this great Charity Auction, taking place at Cheers Bar in the San Marino Apartments (behind the Apolo Centre in Los Cristianos!

Friday, 21st November 2008

Scotch Eddie will be our Auctioneer for the evening, and will have some fantastic Lots for you to bid for, who knows what you could end up with on the night?

Just in time for Christmas, you could clean up and help the animals with K9 Tenerife, just think all of your Christmas presents bought on one night and at some great prices.

Going once, Going twice ….
