Ring in 2012 With Door County Humane Society's "Brunchin' at the Basin"
By Door County Humane Society and Sponsored by Serves You Right Catering
Dec 21, 2011 - 8:53:33 AM
Celebrate
the start of the new year while contributing to a great cause! From 9:00 am until noon on New Year’s Day, the Door County Humane Society
is inviting area residents and visitors to kick off 2012 with a hearty
breakfast feast at Ellison Bay’s popular Mink River Basin.
The big screen TVs will be on so you won't miss the big game or pre-game show as the Packers go after the Lions! Humane Society merchandise will be available for purchase.
“Brunchin’ at the
Basin” includes all-you-can eat pancakes and sausage, also served with
potatoes, fruit and coffee. Juices and other beverages will be available
for purchase. The breakfast is priced at $10 for adults and $5 for
children ages 10 and under; all proceeds benefit DCHS, a 501(c)(3)
corporation.
“Going out for a
big, fun breakfast or brunch on New Year’s Day is a yearly tradition for
a lot of families, whether they live here or are spending the holiday
season with us,” said Carrie Counihan, DCHS’s executive director. “What
better way to celebrate the first day of a new year than to enjoy a
delicious feast in a favorite Door County restaurant, knowing that every
dollar you spend helps provide shelter, care and compassion for lost
and homeless animals here on the peninsula?”
DCHS cares for more
than 200 animals at any one time, and Counihan said many people may not
realize the costs associated with this care. Such costs make fundraising
events like “Brunchin’ at the Basin” absolutely essential.
“It costs nearly
$900 per day to continue our operations and services,” she explained.
“Approximately 5 percent of that comes from government sources, which
leaves us to cover the remaining 95 percent through memberships,
donations and fundraisers like this one.”
Reservations and
advance payment are not required for “Brunchin’ at the Basin.” Simply
arrive at the time that best suits your family, and enjoy the New Year’s
Day feast! The Mink River Basin is located at 12010 State Highway 42 in
Ellison Bay.
