10 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2024 |
EPAP Animal Rescue Group meets at 10 am in the Multipurpose
Room on the third Monday of the following five months each year:
September, November, January, March, and May. We strive to bring
interesting and informative guest speakers to our meetings to help
you keep your animals safe and healthy.
Tip of the month: Maintain a Healthy Weight! Many dogs
and cats are overweight or obese. And just like people, obesity in pets
comes with health risks that include diabetes, arthritis, and cancer.
Overfeeding is the leading cause of obesity and keeping our pets trim can add years to their
lives. Pets need far fewer calories than most of us think — as little as 185-370 a day for a small,
inactive dog; just 240-350 calories daily for a 10-pound cat — talk to your vet who can make
feeding suggestions based on your pet's age, weight, and lifestyle.
For more information, contact Sandy Burgon at (909) 855-0226.
I am excited to announce we have approved $6.2 million dollars
for some very important District 5 programs, including Homeless to
Work, Hire a Senior, and Hire a Veteran programs. These programs
are designed to provide employment opportunities for those in need,
while helping local businesses gain valued new team members!
Our Homeless to Work program focuses on unhoused individuals.
Hire a Senior focuses on our senior community. Finally, Hire a Veteran
focuses on District 5 veterans.
As always, I look forward to working with you to ensure everyone
