A Couple of Things

Two things I wanted to mention before it got too late:

First off is the Alley Cat Aid Brigade food give away. It's coming up again this week-end, Saturday and Sunday from 11 A.M. - 3 P.M. The article in this morning's papers jogged my memory. It will be at the same location as last month at their storage facility on Commerce Street across from the old Sterling China. It's the building that use to be the Sterling Outlet store.

According to the report Connie Carmichael said they have more food available this month than last. The food is mainly donated from the CC Humane Society, 3 Jacks, private donations and from members of the Brigade. These people are special to dig into their own pockets. It is aimed for those who are struggling toward the end of the month but is open to everyone. All you have to show is your face. No one is turned down. All that being said they will gladly accept any donations too. This is an all volunteer group and any donations received goes right back into the program. Last month they got $10 and were jubilant! Any little bit helps. Connie was quoted in the paper as saying their only expense is the zip lock bags & electric for the building. There's no heat in that building. I hope it's a little warmer this week-end than it was last month. Brrrr...

They will also have information available on low cost spay & neuter programs and their campaign against chaining dogs outside. They are looking for volunteers to help with the TNR program. They are starting to get ready to resume that when the weather breaks.

If you need any additional information you can contact Connie at 330-532-9064 or Faye Lombardozzi at 330-532-4331.

The second thing I wanted to mention is the Potter Players Community Theater. They are getting ready to perform the Female Version of the Odd Couple. The have performances scheduled for Friday and Saturday for the week-ends of February 27 & 28 and again on March 6 & 7. No dinners this time. All performances will be at their theater at 417 15th Street, the former Nazarene church. That's a unique building. For some reason it caught my attention.

We'll have more on the new play later. If you need additional information you can check out their web site at http://www.potterplayers.org/ or call 330-532-5540. I can tell you this though. Judging from the play last month with this talented group of folks you won't be disappointed. I'm still chuckling about Carol Channing.

Actually there were three things. I got a return call while typing this. The Sons of the American Legion Post 70 on Wells Avenue is doing dinners, sandwiches and salads tomorrow, Friday, February 20 at the Post. Proceeds go to sponsoring the AL baseball team and the scholarships they give away each spring at Class Day. It is from 5 - 8 P.M. for this worthwhile cause. I was told last year practically no one knew they had a baseball team. Lord, legion ball use to be huge.

Stay warm. In spite of the ground hog spring is just around the corner.

Hi NIB, This is a web site that offers low cost certificates for Cat & Dog neutering. They used to be free, but not anymore. But it still saves money on getting this done.

Thanks Lew. I can't say for sure but I think this is the organization that the ACAB works with in their spay/neuter program.

Very, VERY nice job by the cast and crew of the "Odd Couple" directed by a great director, Bill Finley, at the PPCT.

Saw the PPCT production of "The Odd Couple" female version last night and you are right, it was great. It is a must see.

The wife & I intended to be there last night but I got caught with the cold bug. Wanted to get some pictures and was really looking forward to seeing the play. Now I have to wait until next week. Thanks for the comments. We're counting the days until next Friday. I don't want to miss it. The "Players" proved to me they are talented and are very entertaining.

I would like to put out a suggestion for the PPCT blog. In order to get public support, the ability to leave a comment on the blog shouldn't be limited to only members. Just my opinion.
