Save Our Strays!

I just talked to Sarah Sanchez on the phone, and it made my day (and it's only 12:44pm!). I have to go into work from 3:30 to 8:30, but I don't have to get back to studying until tomorrow, so I'll get a nice reprieve tonight from a long end-of-the-week/weekend of school work. I don't have time to write much, but I wanted to mention a fundraiser coming up this weekend.

Save Our Strays Huntington Beach, an organization dedicated to the support and promotion of animal welfare, is currently attempting to raise the necessary funds to create a pro-humane animal shelter in Huntington Beach since city residents already pay close to $1 million annually in tax money to the county shelter, which has an unusually high euthanasia rate and poor living conditions considering its budget. At any rate, this Saturday's Pancake Breakfast in the Park is from 8am to noon and costs $7. Additionally, raffle tickets will be available, and it looks like there are a lot of neat prizes. Plus, there will be lots of four-legged friends there, and we all know they are pretty much better than humans anyway. So, if you're in the area, I encourage you to take even an hour to stop by and check it out. This is a really worthy cause and the end goal of a no-kill/no-harm shelter could easily be within reach with enough support from locals. Hope you're having a lovely day!
