GO Penang International 2010 and support Petpositive this weekend!

DATELINE PENANG: 

A TRULY MEGA FESTIVAL has dawned in this friendly pearl of the orient island this weekend. 

And the adrenaline-pumping action promptly kicks off today! 

Called GO Penang International 2010 and endorsed by the Penang State Tourism Development and Culture, the occasion will showcase the finest elements of Penang.

These include an array of colourful cultural and heritage entities, to lots and lots of interesting people  from Penang and the island's visitors.

And as if anyone ever forgot Penang's variety of mouthwatering adventures too!

What is especially special to us is that PETPOSITIVE is also involved. 

How? We received the good news that Our Society has been selected together with two other non-profit to be helped by this great event.

Giant Malaysia is sponsoring The Charity Kiosk at the event where proceeds will go to PETPOSITIVE, The Salvation Army Children's Home and The Penang Home for the Infirm and the Aged.


The weekend of activities is organised by Roots Asia Pacific - a fusion marketing company that is based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. It's founder and chief is Ms Lee Koon Foong,

This is not the first time that Roots is helping Petpositive. Last year, they helped come up with a beautiful desk calendar on birds in Malaysia that was a big hit.

This years assistance will go towards meeting the costs of maintaining Petpositive's Therapy Centre which is in the heart of PJ.    


So please, take a bus, boat, train or even an airplane to get out to GO Penang International 2010 at the Penang Esplanade from 11am to 11pm daily to help us and the other charities out.
