Come and do a day of service at the refuge and meet like minded souls. What a great way to learn more about somebody in a safe and friendly environment. If you're an animal lover you'll want to make friends with other animal lovers. What a good chance to observe someone doing what they love and interacting with the creatures you love. You'll learn more about their true nature working side by side than over a candlelit dinner or in a dark movie theater. This is one of those "Feed two cats out of one bowl" opportunities. You know what they say about two birds and one stone? Such talk is improper at a no-kill animal sanctuary. So here we "Feed two cats out of one bowl". And that's just what you can do. Benefit yourself, meet new friends. Benefit the animals, make their lives better, make your life better. Put together a group of people to come for a work party on Singles Day. They can meet the animals and meet each other. Invite that guy or gal you've been to shy to ask out for dinner. The person who raises the most food wins one of those famous Rikki's T-shirts. ]]> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:00:00 EST http://www.localendar.com/elsie?DAM=PublishedEvent&event_id=310&calendar_id=328363&k=110709&cb=false http://www.localendar.com/elsie?DAM=PublishedEvent&event_id=310&calendar_id=328363&k=110709&cb=false RIKKI's FAMILY LIFE POLICY - It's not for life, it's forever. 2-4 PM - Seminar on caring for your beloved companion animals when you no longer can.
