Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Dear Veggie Friends-- I wanted to share this message below from Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF, in Walnut Creek) about a telethon they're having this Saturday to raise funds to assist in spaying and neutering dogs and cats, adopting out homeless animals, and educating the public about such issues. Tony La Russa and his wife, Elaine, (both vegetarians) started ARF about 12 years ago. Mrs La Russa actually unknowingly played a big part in my learning about veganism by holding a vegetarian seminar at the ARF offices back in '99. It was where I saw (and snagged) my first copy of Diet For a New America, too! To her I am grateful. Plus Mr La Russa has done a great job promoting the homeless animals' cause through celebrity participation. So if you have some time to watch some darn good entertainment and maybe even kick in a few bucks for a good cause, read on! Lori ****************** Tune in this Saturday, March 8, from 6:00P-7:00P on the Bay Area's Action Channel " Action 36 " for the Animal Rescue Foundation's (ARF) fundraising Telethon. Action 36 will air ARF's Stars to the Rescue gala fundraiser featuring many wonderful performances by outstanding celebrities such as Michael Bolton, Chicago, The Robert Cray Band, Vince Gill, Huey Lewis and many others. Operators will be standing by - please support the animals of ARF by calling 888-855-4ARF (4273) and making your pledge to save a life this Saturday. Please check your local television guides for Action 36's local channel. Proceeds from this Telethon go to ARF's life-saving programs. Thanks and have a nice spay!
