Roots & Shoots
The Harmony Hands Roots and Shoots Group invites you to participate in these upcoming activities:
Operation Happy Sock
Wednesday, November 14th, 10:00 a.m.
Blanchardville Bring your old socks and help us make simple cat toys for kitties at the Green County Animal Shelter. This is a project that's good for all ages… we just need to stuff the socks with catnip and stuffing and then tie off the ends. These simple toys make life a little better as cats wait for homes in the shelter. Please let me know if you want to join us for any of these activities so I can plan for materials, provide directions to Blanchardville, etc. Thanks! Heidi H.
Roots & Shoots is the youth action arm of the Jane Goodall Institute, aimed at empowering kids to take actions that show care and concern for the environment, animals, and the human community. You can find out more at www.rootsandshoots.org
