Two truckloads of donations gathered for SPCA in memory of Pocket Pooch
Over 75 Jazzercisers came out for a fun “Huff Before You Stuff” class at Land Park/Greenhaven Jazzercise on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 25.
Dedicated to healthy habits and a healthy community, these Jazzercisers gathered for a “Huff Before You Stuff” class at Land Park/Greenhaven Jazzercise on Nov. 25. Each person brought items to donate to the Sacramento SPCA in memory of Olive, a Pocket resident dachshund who passed away last fall. / Photo courtesy
The class was also a benefit for the SPCA in memory of Jim and Jackie Collins beloved little dachshund “Olive,” who they lost last month. The donations filled two trucks, and over $350 in monetary donations were collected as well.
Donations for the SPCA shelter animals were also received at Valley Community Newspapers.
The donations will help the shelter animals for the here-and-now. The efforts of the Jazzercisers and others in the community have helped to make a difference for the shelter animals.
Sadly,there is an ongoing need for items for the animals. These include: bath towels, bleach, manual can openers, Carefresh animal bedding, cat toys and treats, cat trees and scratching posts, collars, dog toys and treats, grooming clippers (Oscar A5/#40 blades), heating pads, humidifiers (for sick animals), KMR – kitten milk replacement, Kongs, leashes, long-handled squeegees, meat-flavored baby food (for sick and finicky eaters), newspaper (rolled tubes of 25-35 sheets each), peanut butter, pet beds, plastic litterboxes (small) and stainless steel dog and cat bowls.
If you were out of town on Thanksgiving Day and would like to make a donation, items can still be dropped off with Linda Pohl at the Valley Community Newspapers office, located at 2709 Riverside Blvd. in Sacramento.

Patriots recognized by Elks Lodge No. 6
Elks Lodge No. 6 commemorated the memory of 9-11 with a Patriots Day celebration on Sept. 11. At the dinner, which included patriotic items such as “Yankee Pot Roast” and “All-American Apple Pie,” Elks Exalted Ruler Ron Brusato presented plaques to “honor a fire fighter and a police officer who have done meritorious work for the community.”
Captain Mark Ramirez of the Sacramento City Fire Department and Officer Jeffrey Silva were both honored by the Elks that evening.
The purpose of the celebration, according to Brusato, was to never forget those who died on Sept. 11, 2001.
“If 9-11 is ever forgotten, the terrorists have won,” he said. “We won’t let that happen.”
