COAGDU Sells Yankee Candles!

Giving the Gift of Warmth & Smells

A fund raiser supporting the Colorado Association of Guide Dog Users (COAGDU)

It is almost that time of year when the smells of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and green bean

casseroles along with candied yams and baked yeast rolls fill the air in many of our friends and families homes, Oh! And let’s not forget the smells from the pecan pies, sweet potatoes and other baked goods.

The wonderful smells of winter are coming soon as well, and those smells can be described as crisp, piney, cinnamony and the smells coming from the wood burning in the chimneys in the surrounding neighborhoods.  All of these wonderful smells, make us feel great and fill us with robust excitement of the approaching holidays where families will come together to sit down and share love, food, and ever lasting memories.

This fund raiser will support the Colorado Association of Guide Dog Users (COAGDU) and will allow us to build up our treasury so that we can develop a number of different types of literatures that can be distributed to different businesses, and visit different schools to educate the public about the five “(5) “Ws” of our mission.  The five ((5) “Ws” will explain the following; Who COAGDU is, What it is that COAGDU is doing, Why COAGDU is doing what it is that we are doing, Where it is that COAGDU is going, and When we expect to get there.  The funds will also allow us to send board members to other guide dog related events around the state and country to start other divisions such as this one, and also assist our national guide dog division with furthering our work that will give our many guide dog and service dog teams the freedom that we deserve.

How the fund raiser will work:

You will go to the Yankee Candle web site and type in the group number which is (990073097) and after that tab or click on the next box that is indicated by the sellers ID, which is (Dishon30) and when that is done tab or click on the start shopping button to start looking for candles or any of their many good smelling items that they have to offer.  When you make your purchase, COAGDU will receive a percentage of .40 from the items that you have purchased.  If there are guys reading this, don’t think that candles are just for the ladies because Yankee Candle does offer a line of candles and other products that are made just for us too.  If you are looking at our catalogue, please remember that orders need to be in by November 19, 2014 and if ordering of line then orders need to be in at least by December 15 to insure a Christmas delivery date.

If you need a catalogue, please contact me at dspears@cocenter.org or (303) 778-1130 Ext. 246 and leave me your contact information so that I can get one out to you as soon as “dogly” possible. 

Note: The catalogue that you would be receiving is one that you can rub any of the pages and it will give off a scent that you can smell so that you can take some of the products that Yankee Candle offers, and that you may want to purchase.

Thank you for giving your support to the Colorado Association of Guide Dog Users (COAGDU), and have yourself a “sniffy holiday and a waggy new year’s.
