BIRTHDAY PARTY - We had a Celebration of Life in honor of Francis' 1st Birthday Party on Sunday, February 12, 2012. The event was a huge success with so many of Francis & CARA supporters coming to the Shelter to join us. Everyone enjoyed hot dogs, cake and ice cream and got to tour the Shelter as well as visit with the honoree, Francis. Thanks to everyone who attended!!
