Fund-raiser to benefit animal shelter

Art Under the Stars chairman Pam Putnam has announced that on Saturday, May 15, at 6:00 p.m. at the Milagro Grill and Brewery in Bernalillo, the Watermelon Mountain Ranch will hold a fund-raiser including a dinner (grazing style), entertainment, and live and silent auctions.

Putnam said, “We have wonderful donated art, jewelry, pottery, dinners, etc., and we are hoping that everyone will participate.”

Tickets are $45 and include all taxes and gratuities. Putnam said a professional auctioneer who is a lot of fun will emcee the auction. “I can promise you a night to remember,” she added.

Putnam noted that every penny made that night will benefit the Watermelon Mountain Ranch building fund. “If we make the money that we think we will, our administration building can be completed. We hope to see everyone at the Milagro Grill and Brewery on May 15,” she said.

Watermelon Mountain Ranch is dedicated to preventing cruelty to animals and the premise of respect and humane care for all animals. The group is working toward building a facility in Sandoval County to implement solutions for pet overpopulation, to provide shelter and find homes for lost and unwanted companion animals, and to educate youth and adults in the humane treatment of animals.

Tickets to the benefit are available at www.wmranch.org or by calling the Milagro Grill at 867-7200.
