No meeting on April 13th however to prevent FOMR, Fear of Missing Rotary, consider volunteering for the Pawsitivity Partnership on April 18th that benefits LifeLine Animal Project held at Open Hand.
We will be back at Maggiano’s for our April 20th meeting with our speaker Katherine Kelley, CEO Buckhead Coalition.
Several Buckhead Rotarians volunteered at the LifeLine Healthy Pet Event last weekend. We enjoyed meeting some really cute animals while we helped pet owners fill in their paperwork at the check-in line. This event is central to the mission of LifeLine, which is to keep pets healthy and with their owners, preventing unnecessary shelter surrenders due to financial constraints.
A total of 1,251 animals were served!
