You can help us by logging onto www.pamperedchef.biz/cstarrgo -- click on “Shop Online” and enter “Marshall County Humane Society” as your host or call Starr Collins, 901-283-3843 to place an order. Any purchase helps us! In addition to 10-15 percent of the sales generated, we’ll also get a $3 contribution for every future show booked.
