Route 1: New Haven, CT
April 18th, 2009
Today we begin our final event as we enter the Ikea Plaza in New Haven, CT, just off I-95. Working with old friends on familiar turf brings a warm feeling, considering we began our tour one month ago in Redding, California.
Having traveled over 7,500 miles, it’s great to be back in our own neck of the woods. As always, the folks at Ikea welcomed us and all the participants involved in our adoption event. Our thanks to you!!
The Tour For Life has taken us literally from coast to coast, California to Connecticut, with hundreds of pets finding new homes, bringing people and pets together, saving lives, and bringing happiness into the homes of so many. And educating people about the plight of a shelter animal, and the importance of spaying and neutering, has proven to be an accomplishment we are very proud of.
We would like to thank everyone involved for their participation in Tour For Life. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “The greatness of a nation, and its moral progress, can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
See you all again next year…….until then……..thank you!!
Claire and Warren
