We will be collecting for City Wildlife. If anyone has gently used linens, towels or cloths the animals always need them. If anyone has furs they're ashamed to have, they are welcome to turn them in for the rescued animals to bed in. They're always in need of recycled newspapers also.

Doors open at 10:45 for coffee.
Come early get coffee!
