b.i.k.e. Kids raise money for
Doernbecher Kids!
Children from Bicycles and Ideas
for Kids Empowerment raised over
$1,800.00, selling Christmas cards
door to door over the months of
October and September. Part ot the
money goes to purchase ram gear
and safety lights for the young cy­
clists who practice in the dark hours
o f the morning.
“I hope we help some children get
well, so they can come join our
team,” said Alene Andre, 12 year
old at Ockley Green.
Like most children on the b.i.k.e.
team, Alene has raced in races all
over the state, including the State
Championships. Her coaches ap­
proached the Dombecher Founda­
tions, seeing this fund raiser as a
way to invoke a spirit of responsi­
bility and community service in the
team.
“We always try to put kids in a
situation where kids are helping kids.
We want them to have a sense of
their duty to help their community,”
says Jim Edmark, children’s coach.
Spandex aren’t in style for ado­
lescents, but for kids on b.i.k.e. lycra
shorts are “In Vogue”. The team
jerseys carry more in terms of pride

“The bond within the team is what
impressed me. Those kids are dedi­
cated to something and that makes a
difference. I wish I was in b.i.k.e.
when 1 was 12,” said Joshua Wright,
a youth mentor in b.i.k.e.

Adopt a Furry Friend After the Holidays
The holiday season has arrived
, bringing with it the hustle and
bustle o f last minute shopping
and the hope o f running across
that p erfect gift for som eone
special. The idea o f adopting a
com panion animal is not uncom ­
mon at this time o f the year when
love and com passion is in the
air. The Southwest W ashington
Humane Society offers a few
tips to ensure that all necessary
considerations are made:
U tilize the gathering o f fam­
ily during the holidays to dis­
cuss com pletely the responsi­
bilities o f owning a pet. and the
d eg ree o f co m m itm e n t your
lifestyle will allow. Who will
exercise, feed and groom the pet
each day?
The excitem ent o f the season
brings constant activity, which
can be unsettling to a cat or dog
who is becoming acclim ated to
new surroundings. C onsider
waiting until after the holidays
to bring a new cat or dog home.
If you feel a cat or dog would
make a good gift for som eone,
accom pany them to the shelter
after the holidays to help find
their perfect match. Consider
covering the adoption fee for
them.
The Southw est W ashington
Humane Society gladly provides
literature on pet ow nership and
adoption procedures, and en-
courages individuals and fam i­
lies to make inform ed choices.
If you know yo u ’re ready to com ­
mit to a pet for life, a wide vari­
ety o f pets are available for adop­
tion at your Southw est W ash­
ington Humane Society.
For other ways to help the ani­
mals during the holidays, call
the Shelter at 693-4746 or visit
any o f the following locations,
where a variety o f donations will
be accepted.
