MLAA Rescuer's Forum to be held January 31st in Rose Theater

MLAA Rescuer's Forum to be held January 31st in Rose Theater

On January 31st, 2009, MLAA will hold a Rescuer's Forum in the Rose Theater from 12-3pm.
At this forum, MLAA will host all Memphis area groups and individuals involved in animal rescue. Animal Rescue entails all those who spend their time, money, and resources to care for abandoned, hurt, or homeless animals that otherwise would not have people speaking on or acting in their behalf.
The forum is still in the planning stages. For all those who are able to attend, please email: rescuersforum@yahoo.com. The forum aims to provide a lunch, program, and ceremony honoring those committed to this cause. As animal advocates, our mission is not only dedicated to animal welfare, but those who engage in it as well.
