Therapy Visit to Care-Age on Valentine’s Day 2012

Two and four-legged friends from Elmbrook Humane Society's Therapy Team hope to spread love and kindness to the residents of Care-Age of Brookfield this Valentine's Day.   Members of Elmbrook Humane Society's Therapy Team will be visiting residents at this senior facility on February 14, 2012 from 4-5pm.

This year Valentine's Day arrives on a Tuesday and many of the residents may not have family or friends visiting so the team is thrilled to give the residents of Care-Age a special Valentine’s Day visit.  Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love and what better way to spread love than with a group of canines!  The dogs and their handlers will be passing out homemade cookies, candy, Valentine’s Day cards, and flowers donated by Dolores Kopp owner of D’s City Chic Flowers and Gifts in Brookfield. 

Wisconsin Adopt A Golden Retriever, Inc. (WAAGR) will be featured in the February 12th at Pizzeria Piccola in Wauwatosa from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. WAAGR members will be the wait staff, busing staff and greeters for this event. WAAGRE makes a profit from every meal sold, including take-out meals. Some meal items can be ordered ahead of time, and picked up the day of the event to take home.

“Stop by to enjoy a fantastic meal while helping the Golden Retrievers rescued by WAAGR,” said WAAGR President Amie Trupke. “WAAGR volunteers look forward to participating in this event twice a year, and the restaurants’ patrons always have been so supportive of our efforts. We rely solely on donations to help fulfill our mission. We thank everyone who has attended in the past and we hope to see you again!”

Pizzeria Piccola is located at 7606 W. State St. in Wauwatosa.
