Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Wednesday, May 11th, 2016

With the upcoming Chatham County Primary Election this coming May 24th, TailsSpin Pet Food & Accessories is encouraging all RePUPlicans and DemoCATs to head to the polls and cast your vote this PAWlitical season with a three-store "crawl."

On Saturday, May 21st, TailsSpin will kick off its Unleash Your Vote event at 10am at the TailsSpin Pooler store.  It will move to the TailsSpin Savannah store at 12:00 Noon, and finish at the TailsSpin Whitemarsh Island store at 2:00 pm. Pet owners are encouraged to visit with the owners, Jusak Yang Bernhard and Jeff Manley, and also Tammie Mosley, a candidate for Clerk of Superior Court for Chatham County, at all three locations.

TailsSpin will have free refreshments and giveaways for humans and pets, with different pet goodies at each location.  Sample ballots can also be picked up at all three stores.

Participating in the voting process is a tremendous privilege that many people either overlook or take for granted.

“As a first generation Chinese-American from Indonesia, I am grateful to participate in the election process in this amazing country.  It's my responsibility to play a role in having a voice,” says Jusak Yang Bernhard, co-owner of TailsSpin. “It was such an honor and a humbling moment when I became an American citizen. Truly, it is a dream fulfilled for me.”

 “We really want to encourage Chatham County residents to exercise their right to vote" adds TailsSpin co-owner Jeff Manley.  “We realize that pet owners are voters too.  Important pet issues need to be addressed, such as more dog parks and other pet ordinances.”
