Community Spotlight: Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser
If you're looking for plans on Sunday July 19th, swing by Trouble's End Brewing in Collegeville for a fundraiser benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. There will be raffle prizes (including Phillies tickets), and the money raised will go directly toward supporting people living with CF and the search for a cure.
Test Drive Some Adoptable Cats
I couldn't settle on just one adoptable cat for this week's newsletter, so I'm outsourcing the decision to you. Stop by Craig's Cat Cafe in Spring City and spend some quality time with the full lineup of kitties. And remember: If you adopt an animal from the newsletter, please reach out and let me know!
