Happy Tails Fundraiser

The May fundraiser for the Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary at Colonial Wine & Beverage, 8389 Mayfield Road in Chester Township has been postponed to Oct. 10 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Tickets for $40 per person will cover wine and beer tasting, wood-fired pizza, appetizers, salad, beverages and dessert, plus access to a silent auction and a 50-50 raffle.

Tax-deductible donations may either be transmitted via PayPal or mailed to: Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary, P.O. Box 581, Chesterland, OH 44026.
