Tickets available for Olympic Peninsula Humane Society’s fundraiser on April 30

PORT ANGELES — Tickets are available for the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society’s annual dinner and auction, Meowgaritas and Mutts, set for Saturday, April 30.

Tickets are $50 per person or tables of eight are available for $400 at the dinner at the Vern Burton Community Center, 308 E. Fourth St.

The evening will feature a Mexican dinner catered by 7 Cedars with a silent and live auction.

Cocktails and the silent auction will begin at 5 p.m., with dinner following at 6:30 p.m.

Nearly 400 people attended last year’s dinner and auction, which raised $100,000.

Once again, proceeds will be used to provide for the care of animals at the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society, said Mary Beth Wegener, executive director.

The humane society, active in the community since 1947, cares for animals of all types.

It is a private, nonprofit corporation that is financed primarily by private donations and gifts.

No animals are turned away. Some 2,500 to 3,000 animals pass through the doors of the facility annually.

To reserve a seat at the dinner and auction, to volunteer or for more information, call the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society at 360-457-8206.
