Nathan J. Winograd, founder of the No Kill Advocacy Center, is coming to Cave Creek Smokehouse & Pour House Patio Feb. 18
CAVE CREEK – Cave Creek Smokehouse & Pour House Patio and No Kill Maricopa have teamed up to offer an educational seminar on Saturday, February 18 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. on the Fountain Patio in the tent area. Pets are welcome.
Join Nathan J. Winograd (l), one of the greatest No Kill leaders of the nation for an exciting, educational, and networking opportunity for learning how to build a No Kill community to save shelter animals.
His book, Redemption, is the most critically acclaimed book on the topic in the United States and the winner of five national book awards. He is also the author of Irreconcilable Differences, a collection of essays that follows up where Redemption left off and asks – and answers – the question of whether we can do better as a society when it comes to our stewardship of companion animals.
Nathan has helped communities and shelter directors raise the bar for saving the lives of shelter animals. In many cases, the shelters drastically reduced their kill rates from 40 percent – 80 percent plus, down to 10 percent or less. This was accomplished through the implementation of the No Kill Equation.
There will be vendors representing adoption and rescue groups, pet adoptions, gifts, education on the no kill vision and renowned guest speakers. Their mission is to teach a no kill philosophy in our shelters to help our pets and to teach our community to help control animal populations.
It is an event you will want to clear your calendars to attend. There is no admission fee.
Yappy Hour to be on Friday, February 17 from 3 – 7 p.m. and the Saturday event will be followed by "Yappy Hour" from 2 – 6 p.m. on the outside front patio of the Pour House and on the inside front porch of the Smokehouse. All pets are welcome in these areas as well. Happy Hour prices will be offered for those in attendance, which includes $2 domestics, $3 imports and well drinks, and $4 premiums.
Please RSVP for the seminar. Reservations should be made at your earliest convenience: [email protected].
11 a.m. – 2 p.m. conference; 2 – 2:30 p.m. book-signing (Books and CD will be available for purchase. Cash or check only.)
