Submissions will be accepted at the community center on February 10th and 11th. 

See the article from the Tracy Press for additional details.

Something Fun for Little Ones: Read a Book With a Dog!

I love this idea because I feel like all kids should be able to spend time with a dog.  There are countless stories and studies that show that dogs can elevate your mood and your life.  

On Saturdays in Feb, from 2:00 to 4:00, little ones can come and read a story to a trained therapy dog (meaning they'll be on their best behavior).  So, this is a great chance for kids to practice reading and have a meaningful connection with a dog, especially if they don't have one of their own.

Here's the link from the Mountain House Forum.
