A fundraiser for Lennie’s Kids, an organization that works with the Foothills Humane Society to help local animals, was held Sunday, Aug. 28 at Harmon Field. The photo above shows some of the art in the silent auction. Organizer Leonard Rizzo said, “Once again, we had a grand old time. This year we raised only half of what we did in previous years, but that’s okay, times are tough – at least that’s what I tell my kids.” Rizzo also said he appreciates the many volunteers who help him host these events, and the many establishments and individuals that donate gifts. “The best part of these events is that many of my special cases attend,” Rizzo said. “I’m sure I’ll miss some but I’ll name a few that attended: Rockie, who had a plastic soda ring embedded around his shoulder and neck as a pup; Keena, the sweet little albino Dachshund; Cagney who was shot in the foot and the show-stopper was Hannah Belle, the once-emaciated coon hound who has now topped 40 pounds.” (photo submitted)
