Friends of Animal Rescue Day A Success!

March 7, 2012 By International Idiots Club Leave a Comment

Animal Rescue Day International Idiots Club SPI TXOn March 4, 2012, which was a beautiful sunny day on South Padre Island, Leslie Blasing provided the entertainment at Boomerang Billy’s Beach Bar and Grill as she normally does. However, this day was special because she was asking the audience and friends to help her keep a promise she made.

The Friends of Animal Rescue – SPI were in dire need of a machine called an Autoclave, that sterilizes the surgical instruments used in the treatment of animals. Because the Friends of Animal Rescue (which is a Registered Non-Profit) did not have the funds available, Leslie “promised” she would somehow raise the estimated $3,000 needed to purchase one.

Her love for animals and their care, is well known on the Island as she has personally helped and paid for the medical treatment, food and housing for numerous stray and abandoned animals.

As Leslie pondered how she was actually going to keep her promise the words to a song went flittering through her mind (which happens quite often I am told) and it went like this:

“What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.
Oh, I’ll get by with a little help from my friends”

Those words became the idea to have this past Sunday be an event for those that could help her “keep the promise”. So, as she sang her little heart out for the cause, in a period of 4 hours, she somehow managed to meet her goal and collect the $3,000 in donations.

Several challenges from the audience, such as, to see if the men or women would provide the most funds began.  The International Idiots Club, on behalf of its members, presented Leslie with a check for $500, one of the Idiots long-time members, Sherry Morrey, personally donated $350 and even a personal friend of Leslie’s sent her a text message promising $250 (although I think the friend assumed it was for bail money). Sometimes the money was in $20 bills sometimes it was just pocket change, but it all paid off.

If your are interested in helping out the Friends of Animal Rescue – SPI, please visit them on FACEBOOK FRIENDS OF ANIMAL RESCUE or their web site: www.friendsofanimalrescuespi.com.  If you can, stop by to make a donation or even mail it to them, please be sure to tell them, “Leslie sent me!”

International Idiots Club Fund Raiser to Support American Military Support Organization

August 1, 2011 By International Idiots Club Leave a Comment

$500 Donation for Military Care Packages

Because the American Military Support needs donations of individual personal care products to send to “Quality of Life Packages” (QLPs) Care Packages to Military Personnel who are from the Rio Grande Valley and deployed overseas the Idiots Club held a Fund Raiser on their behalf.

The fee just for postage to ship 250 of the “Quality of Life Packages” is $3,000. With the cost for personal care items and packaged food items being an additional cost, the International Idiots Club will continue accepting donations of any kind for the organization at all of our future functions.

American Military Support Website LinkDuring this years Independence Day weekend, the Idiots Club collected $94.00 in cash from the customers at Boomerang Billy’s Beach Bar, along with about $200 worth of packaged food items and other items donated by Leslie Blasing and Leonard and Lora McCarthy for the “Quality of Life Packages” and a check in the amount of $500.00 provided by the Idiots Club. All of the donated items and money were presented to Emma Alvarado, Co-Founder of the AMERICAN MILITARY SUPPORT organization.

Friends of Isabel Garcia Animal Shelter Fund Raiser

July 26, 2011 By International Idiots Club Leave a Comment
Thanks for Donation Card

A Thank You Note from the Friends of Isabel Garcia Animal Shelter

On Friday, July 15, 2011, the Friends of Isabel Garcia Animal Shelter held a fund raiser at Boomerang Billy’s Beach Bar and Grill in order to help the animals still at the Laguna Madre Animal Shelter. For additional information you can read about it in the Brownsville Herald newspaper article by clicking here.

Because of your support to the International Idiot’s Club we were able to provide a check for $500.00. The funding comes from the sale of the yearly Club memberships and the purchasing of Idiot merchandise such as the shirts, lanyards, koozies and other voluntary donations members have made directly to the Idiots Club.

The next time you visit South Padre Island, or know of someone who will, please encourage them to attend our meetings every weekend at Boomies, weather permitting, and proudly become a member knowing that all of the money we receive goes directly to such worthy causes.
