KC Clubs Sponsoring Collection for APRA
Ends Friday; Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption 

Pet Rescue
Nickajack's Kindness and Compassion Clubs are sponsoring an item collection to support Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption (APRA) from March 16th through March 27th.  Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption is "a non-profit, no-kill shelter dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs and cats so that they can be adopted into safe and loving forever homes."  

Please visit the following link to view the shelter's wish list:  www.atlantapetrescue.org/donate/giving-list/.  Items may be dropped off in the large bin in the front lobby at Nickajack.  Please encourage friends and neighbors to participate.  

Our KC Club students thank you for your support of their current service project.  The students have been learning about animal welfare and how animal shelters operate.  They recently decorated "Adopt Me" bandannas for the dogs and cats to wear on adoption days at APRA.
