JACK PINE TRAVELERS DONATE TO CWNAS
The Jack Pine Traveler’s Camping Club of Juneau County recently made and
donated 23 pet beds to the Carl W. Nelson Animal Shelter (CWNAS). The
beds were made by the club members out of materials donated by
Nanette Green of Necedah. Members cut and sewed the beds as a
project at their October meeting. CWNAS held a “pet flea market” at
this year’s Mauston Pumpkin Bash, where the beds were sold. Proceeds went to
the CWNAS Building fund. The camping club also donated a large pet crate to
the shelter. Accepting the donations on behalf of CWNAS was Rosemary Aney,
CWNAS Secretary. She said that the shelter appreciates the donation of the
crate and the beds. “The beds were a big hit at our pet flea market. Everyone
loved the bright colors and the fact that they are completely washable. CWNAS
extends a big thank you the the Jack Pine Travelers for this donation.” The Jack
Pine Travelers Camping Club is a chapter member of the Good Sam’s RV
Camping Club. They
Jack Pine Traveler members with the pet beds & crate hold monthly “camp
outs” during the
summer months and
meet at the Mauston
City Hall during the
winter months. The
Jack Pine Travelers
regularly donate money
to the Juneau County
food pantries and Dogs
for the Deaf, and other
area charities. Anyone
interested in joining
the Jack Pine Travelers
should contact

Necedah High School Group Hears About CWNAS
On October 26, we were invited to speak to the Necedah High
School FCA Club (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). The students
were told about our shelter programs and future plans. The FCA
club is a group of high school
athletes that use their meeting
times together to become well
rounded humanitarians. Various
fund raising ideas and volunteer
opportunites were discussed and
the students were encouraged to
remember the CWNAS when
Necedah high school students listen
planning their future activities.

Nacho is a male, orange
tabby, about 7 weeks old.
He was too tired from his
trip to the vet to keep his
eyes open, but he is a
healthy, playful little boy. Just as sweet
as can be. He is up to date on shots and
will come with a certificate for neutering.

Hatch Story Time Visited
January 2012
Rosemary Aney, and former CWNAS foster
dog, “Bentley”, visited the Hatch Library
Toddler Story Time on October 17, 2011.
Rosemary and Bentley were invited to read
to the children in honor of “Adopt a Shelter
Dog” month. Bentley, a CWNAS foster dog
who was adopted by Aney, was a huge hit
with the little ones. Rosemary talked to the children about the things we
need to have when we adopt a pet. As the children were questioned about
the needs of an adopted pet, they guessed what was in the
mystery bag, which contained the necessary items
such as food, bowls, leashes, and name tags. The
children also received a stuffed animal donated by the
New Lisbon Correctional Institution.
CWNAS Pet Flea Market at Pumpkin Bash
This year the CWNAS chose to have a Pet Supply Flea Market at the
Mauston Pumpkin Bash. We had many new and gently used
pet items for sale. Along with the many items donated for the
flea market, we also had pet beds made and donated by the Jack
Pine Travelers Camping Club. The flea market was very
successful, earning $484.50. We also had some of our foster
cats on display. “Autumn” and “Solo” both found their forever
homes with families attending the event. Many thanks to
everyone who donated items and a special thank you to the Jack
Pine Travelers Camping Club, and volunteers Kathy Storandt,
Deb Palmer, Deb Flint, Jan Brendle, and Rosemary Aney.
