4-H Paws N Pals Dog & Cat Food Drive
To coincide with Responsible Pet Ownership Month, the 4-H Paws N Pals Club will be collecting dog food, cat food and cat litter donations at various drop off points around Allegany County, MD. The club will also be taking cash donations on its web site at http://www.4-HPawsNPals.com/DogFoodDrive.html . Proceeds from cash donations will be used to purchase dog and cat food. The three local beneficiaries of the donations will be the Allegany County Animal Shelter, Ark of Hope no-kill shelter, and Safe Haven no-kill shelter. The Dog and Cat Food Drive will run until October 31, 2009. Participating businesses and organizations are listed on the club’s web site. If your business or organization would like to get involved, you can email the club from their web site. The idea for the drive came from club secretary, Caldwell B., who had heard local animal shelters were in need of food. Way to go kids! This is what 4-H is all about!

4-H Paws N Pals Members enjoying fabulous food at the End of Summer Picnic
Saturday, September 5, 2009, the 4-H Paws N Pals Club held their first annual End of Summer Picnic at the public beach at Lakewood. All the families that attended each brought a covered dish and the club supplied chicken for a fabulous feast. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather for our picnic so members enjoyed swimming and playing at the beach. As the sun started to set, we built a campfire and enjoyed smores and ice cream. Club members enjoyed a treasure hunt. Great thanks to the 4-H Paws N Pals End of Summer Picnic planning committee headed by adult volunteers Emily Jackson and Cynthia Speis and members Atticus S., Darrah S., Griffith S., Alicia J., Kaufman B., Caldwell B., Karen H., Katie H., Jenna P., and Matt P. Wonderful job! We’re all looking forward to next year!
