Florida Agenda

POMPANO BEACH – Elected officials, business and community leaders, and school officials celebrated the contribution of more than $36,000 in school supplies for Broward teachers and their students. The donation will help provide enough supplies for one school year for about 90 teachers from the Broward Education Foundation’s Tools for Schools center. Teachers in Broward’s poorest schools are eligible to shop twice a year at the center for a wide range of items, ranging from pencils, paper and glue, to art supplies, tissues and back packs.

More than 50 local businesses displayed contribution bins in their offices for the month of July to collect school supplies. Major sponsors included the Pride Center at Equality Park, Women In Network, and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce Gay and Lesbian Business Exchange (GLBX), which organized the largest collection drive of all partners in the “Stuff the Bus” event.

The sixth largest school district in the nation, Broward County has more than 172 Title 1 schools, with more than 52 percent of the families struggling to equip their children for the new school year. According to the foundation, teachers spend an average $1,000 of their own personal funds to help equip their classrooms.

OAKLAND PARK, FL – The Pet Project has welcomed back Michael Mulheron as the new Associate Director/Resource Development Specialist. Mulheron, who had served previously as Director of Fundraising, will now direct all resource development funding streams such as corporate and individual donations/gifts, fundraising special events, sponsorships, partnerships and grants. In addition, Mulheron will steer the organizations marketing and advertising, special event planning, and act as a liaison to the community.

“I’m truly excited to be back with such a great organization as the Pet Project.

As an owner of two dogs myself, I know first-hand how expensive it is to own and maintain an animal, so I can whole heartily get behind and see the value of the Pet Project’s mission to keep pets and their owners together during a health related or financial crisis,” said Mulheron.

The Pet Project is a charitable organization that helps to serve the needs of Broward and Miami-Dade county pet owners infected/affected by HIV/AIDS and other terminal diseases or other disabilities, as well as senior citizens with qualifying low income by providing comprehensive services designed to enable them to care for their animal companions.

Will you adopt me?  My name is Mummy (ID# A431621) and I’m a 1 year old, female tiger kitty who was given up because my family had too many pets.  I’m sweet and loving and want to spend Halloween and many more holidays with you.  Can I be your new best friend?

I need a home too.  My name is Sophia (ID# A318032) and I’m a 6 year young, 17 pound Lhasa Apso mix who was given up because my family is moving and could not take me along.  I’m potty trained, good with other dogs and older kids.  I’m very loveable and adorable and hope you will give me a second chance.

All pets are spayed or neutered before going home and receive preliminary vaccinations, microchip and registration, heartworm test for dogs and feline leukemia test for cats and more.  For more information call the shelter today at 954-989-3977.  The Humane Society of Broward County is located at 2070 Griffin Road, just a block west of I-95.  Adoptions open daily at 10 a.m.
