If you've lived in and around St. Cloud for any amount of time, you've probably heard of the 'Spay-ghetti & NO Meatballs Dinner,' a local event to help support Tri-County Humane Society.

Well..It's here! The Spay-ghetti & No Meatballs Dinner is happening this Saturday!

IT'S TIME FOR THE SPAY-GHETTI & NO MEATBALLS DINNER

Longtime Board Member of TCHS, Bill Nelson, has been going a long way out of his way for years to support TCHS. I'm not sure I've seen anyone give as much as this man has to such a cause.

BILL HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HIS HEART FOR CATS

I know that Bill loves animals, but he has a special place in his heart for cats. I know that for Bill this is a way for him to remember some of the most important souls that have affected his life in a positive way. I remember the deep grief he felt when he lost one of his long time cat friends years ago, and I believe that he has honored that relationship by helping other pets find their forever homes.

BILL'S JARS FOR TCHS

Every year, Bill offers TCHS Jars for people to pick up as well. Each jar you can fill with your change...ask your family to do the same, and then, once a year, he comes round and picks up all those jars. The simple act of placing your leftover change in these jars has generated thousands and thousands of dollars for TCHS.

Yes.! You can get meat with your sauce. You can also take part in lots of fun events he has planned every year. Or...go online now and participate in the online auction that will be happening all week long. It's already active, and every dollar raised will be going directly to TCHS to help the animals.

If you are in a hurry, curbside pickup will be available. Bill is trying to make this as easy as possible for you to participate.

LET'S MAKE THIS THE BIGGEST YEAR YET

I, for one, can't wait to see how much he raises this year. He thanks everyone for participating, and if you don't have your jar yet, ask Bill to add you to the list.
