Fun Is in Full Bloom This Spring at the Marin Humane Society
Teen animals lovers to host Family Fun Day on May 13
(NOVATO, CALIF., May 2, 2006) — In honor of Be Kind To Animals Week, the Marin Humane Society’s teen animal service club, Roots & Shoots, will host a Family Fun Day on the MHS campus (171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato) Saturday, May 13, from 1–5 pm.
An afternoon of fun, animal-themed activities is planned. Families can compete in games, make animal crafts, get their faces painted, enjoy storytime with SHARE-a-Book volunteers and their dogs, meet adoption animals, treat their dogs to a refreshing bubble bath ($10 per dog), and more. The popular Musical Paws canine dancing troupe is also scheduled to perform at 3 pm. All proceeds from this event will benefit the shelter animals at the Marin Humane Society.
“The Roots & Shoots program inspires youth to make a difference by becoming involved in their communities,” says MHS humane education coordinator Morgan Lance. “Family Fun Day is a unique way to educate the community on animal welfare issues while celebrating all things animal.”
Cost is $5 per child. Refreshments will be available for purchase. For more information, please call (415) 506-6288.
Also taking place at the shelter that day from noon–4 pm is a Greyhound Meet & Greet. This is an excellent opportunity to meet former racing Greyhounds who have been rescued by Greyhound Friends for Life. Learn more about this special breed — and maybe even fall in love!
