Upcoming Spring Events

Swarthmore Fun Fair – May 18th from 12 noon to 4 pm

Several of you expressed interest in Volunteering at the PFL booth (#6 by the Brewery) at the Swarthmore Family Fun Fair on May 18^th. The event will be held from 12 noon to 4 pm.  Volunteers will be needed from 11:45 am through 4 pm when we will tear down.   We will have a children’s game in the booth to attract people into it. Volunteers are needed to help with that.  Plus if you would like to bring your therapy dog with you to discuss what we do with visitors that would be great.  If you plan on bringing your dog budget only between 45 minutes to an hour for it will be extremely stimulating for them. They have not said anything about what happens if it rains but we will have a tent.  Please let me know if you would like to help.

Volunteers Needed For Iron Pigs!

Last year we did such a great job with the Iron Pigs Bark in the Park, they asked us to come back again this year.  Our game is June 10^th and you need to be there by 5 pm.  We are done by the 2^nd inning and you can stay, eat some great food (our treat) and watch the game.  It really is a lot of fun and Pals does get a donation from them to make it worth it for us.  Plus, it is great publicity and looks great on our “resume”.   While your therapy dog is welcome to come, it can be hot and very overwhelming.

Children’s Summer Program – What Did The Dog Say?

Children between the ages of 4-8 are invited to join PFL for a one-hour interactive animal communication class on June 18th at 10 am.  Participants will learn how a dog expresses itself with its tail and eyes and what it is trying to say. This one-hour workshop will be held at the PFL office at 35 Grove Ave in Devon. The goal of the class is to encourage empathy, understanding, responsibility and compassion toward our animals. The cost is $20 and is limited to 12 children.  Register your child by emailing peggy@palsforlife.org
