RECENT NEWS
1) 4-H Pet Partners provided a $200 financial grant
(from their year-long series of fundraisers) to Big Bend Victim Assistance
Coalition for its Nov 2 seminar on "grief and loss." Killearn Kiwanis supported
the group's efforts with a $100 grant. 4-H Pet Partners member Nichole
Bush cooked the breakfast muffins and served them to seminar attendees.
And the group provided an information table where they provided "Vial
of Life" containers for Killearn Kiwanis. The seminar was attended
by almost 100 teachers, members of the clergy, first responders, victim
advocates, animal care professionals and caregivers and was covered by
WCOT.
2) For the kickoff of National Animal Shelter Appreciation
Week on Nov 5, 4-H Pet Partners helped with a yard sale and displayed and
provided "Vial of Life" containers on behalf of Killearn Kiwanis to people
attending shelter activities.
3) On Nov. 6, 4-H Pet Partners helped serve
soft drinks from the Coca Cola booth for "Homecoming for Shelter Animals"
and made a spot for the Kiwanis "Vial of Life" project at that booth.
We were interviewed by Channel 27 news about the "Vial of Life" project.
4) 4-H Pet Partners will be meeting on Friday,
Nov. 11, to make craft items for fundraising at Market Days on Dec 3 and
4 for its community service projects.
