PAWS
PAWS held its annual event on Sunday 30 September at the Hotel Paros Aganti. The main attraction this year was a silent auction with more than 60 valuable items or services generously donated by local merchants and individuals. The almost 100 participants had the opportunity to bid for useful products and acquire them at low prices.
The auction together with the entrance tickets raised about 3.000 € and since there were almost no costs involved, it was the all times best fundraiser event for PAWS.
The Athena Hall at Paros Agnanti Hotel was the most convenient setting to host this kind of event. Other highlights of the evening were:
- a gourmets' fingertip buffet graciously elaborated by Stephan from the Happy Green Cows, Bruce Hymers and Maria's Pastry shop.
- the dog trainer Sadrina Valata and her star dog Leslie who came all the way from Athens especially for the event.
- a 15minutes video produced by the Greek Animal Welfare Fund and summarizing the issue.

We were hoping that more of the local population and the municipality were going to give leverage to the issue which burden is still carried almost exclusively by PAWS. Disappointingly only one vice-mayor honored the event with its presence. The idea that came up for next year's event is to hold it on the main square to make out of it a real popular and informative event.

Please find here the full list of all the contributions without which this achievement wouldn't have been possible!

Read a well documented article by Cordelia Madden, journalist at the Athens News, which illustrates quite well the present situation of animal welfare in Greece, characterized by the absence of the Greek authorities and thus, mainly supported by foreign funds.
