Outreach

Yanni's petsitting and walking team, the San Carlos Tavern, and the SPCA were happily washing dogs Saturday afternoon. With two dog washing stations and plenty of helping hands, this is the sort of pleasant afternoon activity that makes our neighborhood great.  Seminole Heights may be known for its gracious porches, but we are a dog-loving bunch as well. 

For a mere $10 donation, my two dogs got pampered by Yanni and her gang while I enjoyed a beer on the new deck at the San Carlos tavern. Dogs were walking in and out of the bar, the deck, and everywhere else. Big dogs like Hooch and little weiner dogs scampering around. Not all of the dogs were thrilled about getting wet, of course.  One in particular hid under a table to get out of the sun and away from the water.

On August 28^th, The Learning Center at the John Calvin Presbyterian Church celebrated its one year anniversary. OSHNA president Jeff Harmon and trustee Shawn Hicks were there to help out. OSHNA donated drinks and snacks to go with TLC's hot dogs, ice cream, and birthday cake.

The kids were entertained by the TNT tumbling/gymnastic team and a children's dance troupe. There were balloons, hula hoops, and smiles all around.

The Learning Center is now accepting registrations for 3 & 4 year olds.  There are only a few openings left to get free VPK for children who are 4 years old by September 1, 2009.
 
John Calvin Presbyterian church is right in the middle of Old Seminole Heights and fairly close to both Seminole Heights elementary and the Baptist accademy.
