Program. Deb Watkins gave an excellent program on the Manhattan Animal Shelter, covering its goals and objectives and current status. She stated there are 152 animals currently at the animal shelter and discussed the various things she and her employees do to make as many of the shelter animals as possible ready for adoption. For example, each animal is brought up-to-date on its vaccinations, put on the proper medicine regime if necessary and then is spayed and neutered. Deb indicated that her goal for “Clear the Shelter” weekend was to have 40-50 animals adopted. A book titled Wings of Fire the Lost Continent was presented in her name to the Ogden Elementary school.
Bill Turner briefly discussing the “9/11: A Day of Remembrance” event to be held at Bishop Stadium and the flyers he had distributed on each table.
