Resources and Friends

There've been so many Adopt-a-Turkey projects that I chose not to even begin covering them. Maybe next year at this time, I will be able to set it all up way in advance. Meantime here's some wonderful resources we haven't mentioned in this column up to now.

FARM SANCTUARY, which is one of the caring organisations that included the turkey-saving in its sensational roster of yearly events, offers its Winter Wonderland this coming Thursday, December 4. Organised to celebrate compassion for all beings and to give farm animals the gift of life, the event will be held from 6-10pm at the Art Directors Club, 108 W.29 St. New York.

PET ROX will blow your mind. This popular eco-rock and roll band, is currently celebrating its tenth anniversary, performing at many fundraising events for animal charities, from the ASPCA birthday party in Union Square to seven consecutive annual appearances in Riverside Park at the American Cancer Society's Dogswalk, to Brooklyn's Prospect Park Zoo.

The next performance is Wednesday, December 3 at 9:30pm at "Don't Tell Mama",
343 W.46 St. on Manhattan's famous Restaurant Row. Doors open at 9pm, cover charge is $15 with a two drink minimum. Reservations are suggested: 212-757-0788.

The Pet-Rox line-up consists entirely of performers who also work in various capacities promoting issues relating to animal welfare. All their musical numbers relate to animals and my house-call vet, Jeffrey Levy, is behind it all.
