Box Tops for DOGS needed

Do you feed your dog Purina Dog Food?  If so, we could use your help!

Everyone has heard of “Box Tops for Education” where our local schools collect UPC symbols from products and turn them in for credit to purchase things for our kid’s schools.  Now they have a version of this to help out dog club’s. 

Our Club is collecting weight circles from bags of Purina brand dog food in order to earn points to get a new wing jump for use in our Agility Classes.   If you feed your dog a Purina product and are willing to help out, please mail your weight circles to:  IRDTC, PO Box 14, Virginia, MN  55792 or drop them off at the club located in the Thunderbird Mall. 

Here is a picture of the weight circle we need

and of the Wing Jump that we are saving up to get. 

Thank you for all your help.
