Dog Lesson In the fall, Dog Day festivities were held at the Bell Tower. Dog trainers were on hand to teach owners how to handle their animals. Photo by Chris Lee Q I What are the goals and purpose of the group? A I One of our major goals is to be a voice for the animals that don ' t have one; we want to educate people about animal rights. We are also trying to help the humane society by doing fundraisers and volunteering. Q I What kinds of activities does your group do? A I This semester we have an ongoing program to help regulate the feral cats by catching them, fixing them and giving them all their vaccinations. We also put together a senior mix and match to try to get some of the senior animals at the shelter adopted by some of the seniors of the community. We are doing Christmas in January to get people to donate some much needed clean- ing supplies to the shelter. We will also be doing the spring luncheon, which is a huge fundraiser for the shelter. We have a booth at Movie Magic that all the proceeds go to the shelter, purchases and donations could help. We are also going to have some dog training classes at Movie Magic. Q I About how many members do you have, and what types of members (students, faculty, etc.) are in the group? A I We probably have about 30 active mem- bers including students and faculty. Q I What motivates your members to take their love of animals to the next level? A I 1 think that most of our motivation comes from the shelter and keeping it open, because without our help and the help of other outside donations the shelter wouldn ' t still be open. Also our supervisor Kristina Martinez keeps us motivated because she is so passionate about what she does. DSSO • groups DD I
