2 <br />ANIMAL PROTECTION SOCIETY OF ORANGE COUNTY <br />1081 AIRPORT ROAD • CHAPEL HILL. NORTH CAROLINA 27514 <br />apsTELEPHONE 919 - 967 - 73,83 <br />Moses Carey, Jr., Chair <br />Orange County Commissioners <br />PO Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC <br />Dear Mr. Carey: <br />Humane societies throughout the United States are joining to- <br />gether to celebrate April as "Prevent -a- Litter" (PAL) month. <br />This celebration will include increased efforts on our part to <br />raise the public's awareness of the tragedy of pet overpopula- <br />tion, to provide information on spaying and neutering pets, and <br />to provide responsible pet ownership information in outreach <br />programs. <br />APS asks the Orange County Commissioners to share in this assault <br />on pet overpopulation by declaring April "Orange County Prevent - <br />A- Litter Month." This will help focus attention on one of our <br />critical problems and assist us in our efforts to get the message <br />to as many people in Orange County as possible during the month <br />of April. <br />Included in the planned festivities is a "PAL" festival co- <br />sponsored with the Chapel Hill Downtown Merchants Association; a <br />"Rabies Clinic and Spay /Neuter Information Booth" at Weaver <br />Street, Carrboro, co- sponsored with the Carrboro Animal Control <br />Unit; a booth at Apple Chill Fair distributing responsible owner- <br />ship information and selling low -cost spay /neuter certificates; <br />and constant public service announcements and printed media re- <br />leases to support our cause of lowering the number of unwanted <br />animals in Orange County. <br />Sincerely, <br />Pat Sanford <br />Executive Director <br />March 11, 1991 <br />
