Art Workshop
BABYBEL is a 2-year-old
domestic shorthair kitty staying
with us at HSCO until she can
fi nd her forever home. This
sweet girl can be independent at
times but also appreciates some
love and affection. She needs a
family who can give her space
when she needs it, as well as
head scratches when she asks
for them. Although she is young,
Babybel prefers older company
and requires a home without
young children.
Th is workshop is presented by
local artist Carly Garzon Vargas.
Saturday, January 19 at 10 a.m.
Ages 12 to 17. Experiment
with collage, paper and paint
to create a piece of original art
to take home. Bring in your

meaningful material to add to
your art. Info: 541-617-7078.
