We Support Cosmo and the Walk For the Animals!

1 Comment / Service Dogs (Beach Bum Biscuits) / Diane Kaufman

Ten years ago, Cosmo was a stray in Omaha, NE. Hungry, lonely, and wandering the streets. Cosmo was saved by the Nebraska Humane Society, and our friend Paul adopted him. Today, Cosmo has fans the world over and is known as one of the most stylish dogs around!

Mermaid Cottages is an annual sponsor of the Margre Durham Walk for the Animals, which helps the NE Humane Society raise funds to reach out and help homeless animals! Cosmo and Paul participate every year, and this year is extra special because they are celebrating Cosmo’s ten year anniversary of having a home! This is a wonderful cause, and we join Cosmo and Paul is asking for your support too!

Cosmo and Paul hope to raise at least $700 before the walk date September 26, 2010…and you can help! Please visit their donation page and help them reach and even exceed their goal! For more information, check out the event page at the Nebraska Humane Society website today! And, congratulations on ten years Cosmo!!!

Shake Your Maracas for Ms. Sylvia!!

Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee / Diane Kaufman

Ms. Sylvia Gott is a Tybee music icon. She’s a peppy 101 years young and still rocks a nightly gig at Doc’s Bar here on the island. Yes, our lovely lady is known world wide for her talents as a percussionist. Drums, castanets, tambourines…you name it. We love to watch her play!

Recently, Ms. Sylvia had a fall and was hospitalized for a cracked pelvis. She’s recovering and is very eager to get back to her music! The community has been cheering on her full recovery and to help with that, she needs a lift in her home to help her get from her first to her second floor. There have been fund raisers island wide, thanks to the Tybee Arts Association and other groups, to help raise the $10,000 for the lift.
You can join Tybee in raising the funds to help Ms. Sylvia get her lift this Saturday, August 28th, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Doc’s Bar! There will be great food and great music, so please come! Wear your turbine and bring your maracas to shake in honor of the fabulous Ms. Sylvia!!
There will be buckets for your donations at Doc’s as well as many other locations around the island. If you aren’t able to make it to Tybee, you can head on over to the Tybee Arts Association website and make a donation through Paypal! Please help us help our beloved music legend!

We send our very best to Ms. Sylvia and wish her a full and speedy recovery!!
