SPRING DINNER & AUCTION—MAY 19 Our Fifth Anniversary Spring Dinner & Auction will take place at the Winnemucca Convention Center on Saturday, May 19. The festivities begin with a cocktail hour at 5:00 p.m., followed by dinner, a video presentation featuring Safe Haven's wildlife, live and silent auctions, and great entertainment. The event will also feature Pershing County Commisioner Darin Bloyd (emcee and auctioneer), Winnemucca Mayor DiAn Putnam (honored guest), and other local personalities. Auction items include recreation and resort packages and Nevada arts and crafts. Tickets are $30 per person or $300 for a table sponsorship. Winner's Hotel & Casino in Winnemucca is offering a discounted stay for the night of May 19 for those attending Safe Haven's event. See our special event page to read the latest details and make your reservations. The event is almost sold out, so don't delay! Due to strong advance sales, tickets may not be available at the door. TIGERS, TIGERS! We are preparing to welcome two new tigers, Gage (age 8) and Syber (age 14). The two males have been housed together at an Ohio facility that is "re-homing" its animals. All of the animals have now been placed in accredited sanctuaries. Gage and Syber will arrive in late May or June. Lions, Tigers & Bears in San Diego, CA is the facilitator and will provide the transportation. Our new 8,000-sq. ft. coyote enclosure will be completed in May. Like our big cat enclosures, it is 16 feet high and will be hot-wired, so the tigers can take up temporary residence there until our new "rescue-ready" enclosure is finished. We will have more news and photos as the arrival date approaches. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP GRANT AWARDED IN MAY Safe Haven has been awarded a Community Partnership Grant of nearly $5,000 from the Community Foundation of Western Nevada. Funding will support the use of a nearby abandoned building, which was formerly a radar facility for the Winnemucca Air Force Station. We will use the building for the freezers where we store meat for our animals. The additional space can also accommodate two new energy-efficient freezers to store a back-up meat supply. This project will have a major impact on the sustainability of Safe Haven’s sanctuary services and our ability to expand in the future.
