I hope the cat has your attention. Good afternoon, everyone! I hope this weekend has been treating you well. I'm here to announce something very, very special (and exciting) for our furry friends at the Recollé Animal Shelter. On Saturday, April 22nd @ 5pm I will be hosting the Black Ties & Tails Charity Fundraiser, with all the money and donations going straight to the shelter. It will be a formal dance event held at the convention center. You'll need at least a five dollar donation or a can of pet food to get in. You can dress as fancy as you want, but you have to at least dress up a little! The theme is animals, so if you'd like to add ears or a tail to your outfit you are absolutely allowed to. For people who can't really afford to be glamorous, I have you covered. I'll be getting together with the boutique owners of the area and outfitting people before the event. Just make sure you come two hours early so that we can do your hair and makeup and get you dressed. The venue is essentially a giant ballroom for dancing and food with some tables on the side. There will be shelter staff on hand to process applications and answer questions as well as show off some of the dogs and cats that are available for adoption. You're encouraged to bring your own pet as long as they're leashed and friendly. I'd like some help, too! If you don't mind volunteering or you just want to get in for free, I need lots of hands to make this thing happen. This is a great opportunity for musicians to get exposure, for example. I also need cooks, servers, and general volunteers. You can contact me through Retrospec or my liaison for the event at XXX-XXX-XXXX. Thank you so much for reading! I hope to see you all there!

Minako Arisato we ARE allowed to bring our own pets right? Minako Arisato you didn't mention it but I think it'd be a really nice chance to get to meet other pet owners Minako Arisato on top of showing off my dog in a cute tuxedo too, of course haha

Sarah Ariana Vittoria de Alessandro Of course! As long as they're on a leash and well-behaved, there shouldn't be any problems. I don't want hostile animals at the event, essentially.
Sarah Ariana Vittoria de Alessandro It wouldn't make sense to throw an animal-themed ball and then not let people bring them.
Sarah Ariana Vittoria de Alessandro But that sounds great! I can't wait to meet him.

Minako Arisato oh definitely not, and no worries from my puppy, he's super well-behaved! Minako Arisato I'm sure he'd love to meet you too. He'll be chomping at the bit to make new friends by the time I finish all my volunteer duties Minako Arisato speaking of which I'll have to see about getting a park play date day set up for all the new pet owners after the gala is over!
