The Lawrence Humane Society will hold its ninth annual *Pawsible Dream Benefit Auction* tomorrow. One of the Jayhawks on Parade will be among the items auctioned.
The event will feature a silent auction live auction, Taste of Lawrence buffet, cash bar and entertainment.
The auction will include original art, jewelry, meals at local restaurants, gift
certificates, books, tapes and pet items.
Director Midge Grinstead said the people had expressed interest in the "Patchwork Hawk." She said she hoped the sculpture would bring $5,000 or more.
Proceeds from the auction will go to the shelter's general budget, Grinstead said. She said the shelter usually received $60,000 in donations a year.
This year, they are far short of that goal.
This year, they are still short of money.
Grinstead said the shelter was expecting funds for constructing a new building.
That money did not come through, and the shelter had to take out a $24,000 loan.
The event begins at 6 p.m. tomorrow at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $15 per person and $25 per couple. They are available at Liberty Hall; the Lawrence Humane Society, 1805 E. 19th St.; and at the door.
