KHS April Events
(Blog Tuesday 4/17/2012)
Liz and I are big supporters of the Kansas Humane Society. Over the years, we have adopted three dogs from that pet rescue organization. All have proven to be faithful and loyal canine companions. The most recent is Henry, (see photo), who was described as being a Tibetan Terrier. That’s why we were delighted to hear about three April fundraising events to benefit the KHS. Please note that the KHS doesn’t receive funding other than what it raises on its’ own.
You can walk/run in a race, go bowling, or sit and watch a roller derby bout – your choice. Details are below.
