Okay everyone...Would we have an interest in a reptile type of group? We would meet every two weeks or monthly. This came from the idea of starting an equine book/documentary club. Thinking we could do something similar for those that have reptiles at home and may not get the chance to show them off as much as large or small animals. We can research, do show and tell of your reptiles you have at home, and more! Email Jessica at [email protected] if you are interested!

There are two bags containing Christmas cards, plain white cards with envelopes and colored pencils if you would like to design you own Christmas card in the plastic bin on the porch. Let us know if you plan to grab one. We can put more together if needed!

The teen group will be getting some Christmas cards done and out to local nursing homes. If your family would like to do some also contact Jess or Sam. You can make your own or sign cards. Supplies can be picked up at the office. They can be distributed to your local nursing home/ senior living or brought back to the office for us to distribute.
