To the Editor:

April 2015 marks one full year since the Best Friends Thrift Shop, 8 Raymond St., Potsdam, re-opened under new ownership of the Potsdam Humane Society!

To celebrate their anniversary, Best Friends will offer a fun, special sale, in honor of the animals that the Potsdam Humane Society cares for, all items that are pet-related, or have animals on them will be 20% off during the entire month of April. This includes all books about animals; dishes, linens, or jewelry with birds or other critters on them; animal cuddle toys; and of course, all pet supplies.

Best Friends Thrift Shop has had a very productive and prosperous year. More than 75 volunteers have been involved in helping with the renovations, store display, inventory preparation, and customer service. The community has been extremely generous with excellent donations of all kinds, and loyal customers have supported the shop on a regular basis. Thanks to everyone’s support the thrift shop has added over $30,000 to the Potsdam Humane Society’s budget in just one year!

If you would like to be part of this wonderful project, you can shop at Best Friends Thrift Shop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 4:00pm. All purchases support the animals at the Potsdam Humane Society. Donations of clean household items can be delivered during shop hours in the last two weeks of each month, from the 16th through the end of the month. Volunteers are invited to get involved any time throughout the year. The phone number is 262-3949, and you can also contact Best Friends through their Facebook page.

Many Thanks to everyone who has made this first year a grand success!
