I just recently formed Team Irvington for Mutt Strut, the day the track goes to
the dogs, on Sunday, April 26, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Why don't
you join Team Irvington? All proceeds go towards providing shelter and comfort
for thousands of animals at the Humane Society of Indianapolis.
It will be an incredibly fun day of goodwill and fellowship for dogs and owners
alike. We need your support, so please join Team Irvington! You can also
register as an individual or make a donation to Team Irvington.
Please pass the word on to anyone who may like to join!!! The bigger the team
the better (and more fun!) Thank you so much for all of your support and we
look forward to seeing you at Mutt Strut!
I hope your Earth Hour was full of candlelit ambiance - if
you were at Lazy Daze, it definitely was! Brian Pitzer and other musicians kept
us rockin' (acoustically) throughout the hour and the place was packed.
Stop by and thank Jeff for hosting the party, if you get a chance!
