Ozaukee Humane Society Seeking Entries for
“Take Time to Be Kind” Contest

Grafton, Wis. – To celebrate Be Kind to Animals Week, May 2-8, 2010, the Ozaukee Humane Society is holding a contest for local children, teachers, volunteers and members of the community who have exemplified kindness to animals.

Awards will be given to the Humane Educator of the Year, Humane Hero, Animal Hero and to winners of the kids poster, poetry and photography contests. This year’s theme is “Take Time to Be Kind.”
Radio legend Carol Caine from 96.5 WKLH will be the emcee for the award ceremony on Saturday, May 1 at the Grafton Legion Hall. The winning artwork will be on display through May at the Weyenberg Library in Mequon.

Be Kind to Animals Week is the oldest celebrated week in the nation. Recognized officially by the 108th Congress in 1915, this special week continues to remind us of the things animals do to enhance our lives. Each year the Ozaukee Humane Society encourages students and teachers to join the celebration.
