Volunteers needed, please! ...all to benefit the animals ...
Breaking news - Kerrville Style - K-9 Literacy Update:
Canine Literacy - A “win-win”
project for all!!!!
Are you interested in a unique and unequaled approach to
reading with children at the Elementary school level? Do
you have a dog who is gentle with youngsters and
friendly with other dogs? If so, please join in the fun
and participate in the Humane Society’s Canine Literacy
project. Our 4-legged volunteers and their
respective owners help struggling readers develop
confidence and self esteem. Having been selected for
this unique program, the children relax with their furry
mentors and reading becomes fun.
Orientation will be held for all newcomers on Sept. 27, 2010 from
1:00-1:30 @ The Humane Society. Canine Literacy fall
2010 dates are Oct.1st-Nov.5th. There will also be a
Spring 2011 session should someone care to join up but cannot do the
Fall 2010 session.
Spring 2011
dates will be posted when available.
Join us by
filling out a volunteer application at the Humane Society, 2900
Junction Hwy., or call Judy Phillips (830) 367-3335 or contact her
via e-mail
jjp@omniglobal.net.
