Get started!
- Find a local shelter or organization in your community that cares for animals. Ask a local veterinarian for suggestions.
- Contact them and explain what an educational event is all about. Ask if they can provide a tour or presentation to a group.
- Get the word out to members with as much detail as possible.
- Enjoy time together. Take photos, bring treats to feed the animals, offer a door prize for attending and ask members what they thought about the experience!
