PARTY FOR A CAUSE – GIVE A DOG A HOME!!!

Help raise funds for Second Chance Animal shelter, which is over crowded with local homeless animals. With the increase in the number of animals in the shelter this year because of the economic downturn, the shelter has reached its limit. Everyone loses when we have to turn animals away.

Party for the animals December 10th and help raise the money needed to build/install much needed extra kennels. For the price of admission on December 10th you get to rock till dawn at a fabulous night of wicked tunes - tons of music by local DJ’s! And, you get to help out Brutus, Tinker, Mylow, Reno, Nutmeg… and many more four-leggeds without homes.

See you December 10, 2009, 10:00 p.m. @ the Spirit Bar
