Ahhh October!!

It’s finally October...the weather is doing crazy, cooler things; the pumpkins are out; Fall is in the air; and Walk Wag and Run is only 15 days away! We have a team of 12 directors and 20 committee members that have been hard at work putting together another wonderful event for our community. October 24th will be here before we know it!

We have over 200 people already registered for various aspects of the event! There's still plenty of time to register - just go to www.walkwagandrun.org to register online. We'll also have registration the day of the event. We are expecting record numbers this year with a new race course, new agility stations for the pups, and another fantastic kids fair with face painting, bounce houses, adoptable animals, and more!

We have lots of great sponsors this year, and we feel so lucky to have the support of such wonderful companies and individuals in our community!

It takes lots of hands (and feet!) to put on the Walk Wag and Run, and we are still looking for VOLUNTEERS. If you are interested in helping us, please email us at wwrvolunteers@lakewoodserviceleague.org. As of today, here's where we need help on October 24th:
