Will you be my friend?Since arriving at Canine SafeHarbor, watching Maddie hasbeen like watching a butterflyemerge from a cocoon. Shewas so timid and shy when shefirst arrived. With the love andpatience of the volunteers at theshelter, she has really spreadher wings! She is now confident enough to go up topeople, and she even seeks out attention. This is ahuge step for a girl so shy she would cower fromeveryone. We are all very proud of Maddie. Thissweet girl deserves a happy ending!

Wanted: Old Cell PhonesMy name is KarenMcGuire, the daughter ofJimmy & Kumi McGuireand I'm a 7th grader atWoodrow Wilson MiddleSchool. Recently, I wasaccepted into a programcalled People to People.This summer, I will be tak-ing a trip to England,Ireland, Scotland and
Wales to learn about their cultures and whatit takes to become a student ambassador.
I need to raise funds for my tuition on thistrip. One of the ways is recycling old, used oreven broken cell phones. I am working with acompany called PhoneRaiser in Texas. I sendthem the cell phones; they refurbish them andsend them to third-world countries or peoplein the army. I found out through this programthat 1 phone can contaminate up to 39,000gallons of water if disposed of in a normallandfill, and that currently only 4% of the cellphones get recycled.
If you have any old cell phones,or work for a company that might havea pile of them laying around the office,
could you PLEASE bring them to:
