It's amazing how a simple turn of a calendar page can inspire so much cleaning, purging, and organizing. It seems as if everyone I speak to lately is knee deep in their "new year's" projects and I am no exception.

I was organizing my inbox this afternoon and came across these helpful reminders from The Animal Welfare Society in West Kennebunk, Maine. Mark your new calendars with your own reminders if you can help with any of these initiatives or visit the AWS website for other shelter needs.

Even if you are not a "Mainer" please take a moment or two to find out if there are similar programs in place for animal shelters in your states.

Good luck with your 2010 project list!
