Wish us a happy birthday and come celebrate with us this Monday through
Wednesday. We're rolling back the prices to our founding year - on our
dinner entree burritos and quesadilla dishes! 
Join
us for this fun filled Kids Nite Out evening with dramatist, Daryl Farrington
Walker! Children from ages 7 and up are invited to play some
drama games during Family Night Tuesday on May 20, beginning at 7 p.m. 
You
are cordially invited to join us for a tea-cup tasting party this Friday
from 11am to 1pm! Freely sample an array of different, aromatic teas
from the fine tea line offerings of The Republic of Tea.
The Republic of Tea offers full-leaf tea because it offers a rich taste
and is much more diverse in its range of subtle flavors than the cut
leaves or tea dust you will find in most tea bags. 
Sweet,
gorgeous Emma came into C.A.R.E. last January as one very pregnant
beagle. Five days later, she gave birth to 8 beautiful and healthy
pups. Emma is both lovely and a lover. She has impeccable house manners
and is obediently trained. Emma has been a wonderful mother to her
brood, and if her puppies are half as lovely as she is, they will all
be fabulous dogs. Emma and her pups are available for adoption through
C.A.R.E.

Mia is a beautiful long-haired tabby and white female cat who was
surrendered by her owner when she became seriously ill. This nine
year old girl has been in a loving home, is very sweet and sociable,
and has a long life ahead of her. Mia longs for a soft bed and a
new family to cuddle with. Please consider taking her home. She is
spayed and vaccinated, and her health records are available. For
adoption, contact the Chatham County Animal Shelter at 542-7203.
