This Saturday marks a very important visit to your veterinarian. It is very imperative that your family pet is vaccinated or risk being given a civil penalty of $200. If your pet is already due for their three year vaccination then the owner must bring proof the previous vaccination. It is also stated in the North Carolina Laws that, “The owner of every dog and cat over four months of age shall have the animal vaccinated against rabies.”

** Next week the Presbyterian Church is offering a Sports Camp for this summer on Monday through Friday. Kindergarteners through sixth graders are allowed to attend. The cost for per child for each week of camp will be $35 dollars. Camp begins at 9:00 a.m. and will end at 2:00 p.m. at the church. It is the utmost priority that either the parent or guardian of the child drop off AND pick them up as well. If someone else has to pick the child up then the staff must be notified. The children will need to have packed lunches for each day, unless there will be a problem with this then the staff will still need to be notified. Water will be provided for everyone and they will need to wear socks and tennis shoes.
