The day went to the dogs, but that’s a good thing
On a beautiful spring day this last Saturday (April 26, 2014), volunteers and family members from the Rotary Club of Indianapolis, attended Mutt Strut 2014, a fund raiser for the Humane Society of Indianapolis. Held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the track was cleared of all cars for the dogs and owners to amble the historic raceway. On this beautiful 70 degree day, all versions of dogs could be seen from small to large from shorthair to bushy from cute and cuddly to large and athletic as well as all types in between. Here to raise funds for the homeless animals that find their way to the Humane Society, the group had a great time. The day was a great success and most likely was the best attended over the nearly two decade long history of the event. Our own Rotarian, John Aleshire, CEO of Indy Humane, was Emcee for the day. Thanks to Paul St. Angelo, Jenny Butler and Joe Gaafar for bring their families out to represent Rotary in this worthy event and showing that we have a heart for our four legged friends. It is certainly one way our club is building goodwill and better friendships in our community.
