जमेस्तोवं एनीमल शेल्टर

Hey all,
Jackie and Keira here, finishing up our internship. Apparently we've decided to go with the popular other-language lettering for titles.. anyhow, it's been an interesting week. A lot of driving, a lot of petitioning. We've been planning how to decorate a delapidated Fort Getty Pavillion into a black tie affaire setting, vsiting animal shelters and dresing up their dogs, meeting caterers, attending town council meetings, and writing classy invitations. There's apparently a surplus of cats on the island, because people all over the state dump their animals in Jamestown's parks. We've been working with Barbara Szepatowski, a town council member (and everyone in the town knows her on sight..), generally meeting her, getting assignments, and completing them that day. Last Tuesday, we attended the town council meeting, at which an eighth grade class petitioned for the creation of an animal shelter on the island (see title link). Overall, it's been fun, it directly affects the community, and we plan to continue our work well into the summer. To be exact, we plan to continue it until August 2nd, at the black tie event we are hosting.. come dressed in 1920s attire!

JO and KM
