After our meeting, we'll gather across the street in League Park and have our Holiday 2024 photo amid the beautiful decorations at the bandstand!

And finally.....In sharing the holiday spirit and love for our animal friends, we will be collecting food items, toys, blankets, food dishes, etc. for the LC Animal Shelter. Please remember to bring items to help make their holidays happy, too. We will need a few volunteers to help us deliver our gifts to the shelter after the meeting. Cash or check donations are also welcome. Make your check payable to "League City Animal Care". After the meeting, we will take a photo of our donations (piled into Jamie Hart's truck) with our members.

We hope this season is merry and bright for ALL of you, with peace, good health, and happiness in the New Year!
