Next Up---The Food Truck Awards

We are so grateful to everyone who came out to see us at Paws on the Pavement.  We had a great day, and a very successful fundraiser that will help get us out of the red.  Our next goal is to raise some operating funds to pay for some surgeries needed by animals in our care.

We do have a couple more events on the horizon, and want to welcome our volunteers to join us again for whichever form of fun they want to! 

Saturday, September 7th we will be attending the Nashville Food Truck Awards at Centennial Park.  We would love to have volunteers come out to walk dogs and hand out information to those that would like it about Noah's Ark Society and the animals in our care.  This will be a fun day with food an entertainment in Centennial Park.  We need transport volunteers to help get dogs in from foster homes that have not been able to attend many events, and would love a few friends to take photos for us during the day.

Hope to see you on the 7th!

On Saturday, June 8th, the general public is invited to a festival on the Fontanel Mansion. This all-day concert event features a performance by Emmylou Harris, in addition to other artists and songwriters including Ella Mae Bowen, John Hiatt, Buddy Miller, Joan Osborne and many CMA week surprise guests.
