Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

We're admittedly late with this (as we have been with everything for the past few weeks. Mea culpa), but if you're still looking for a way to kick off the pre-4th weekend, consider the Red, White & Blue Party with DJ John Miller at The Cuff [see bar map].



Another option: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Abbey of St. Joan will be selling Jello shots (Stoli style) tonight at Manray [map] as a benefit for the Pet Project which will also be holding a pet-friendly party this summer called WoofStock. It takes to the grasses of Volunteer Park with help from the Sisters on Sunday, August 19.

Woofstock is the "after-party" event for this summer's poodle-powered "LVHS Classless Reunion." You might recall Butch the big pink poodle mascot of the Reunion from last week's parades.

Pet Project is a volunteer service of the Seattle/King County Humane Society that helps people with AIDS keep and care for their pets.

Because studies show that the companionship of a pet can greatly improve the quality of life, we responded by initiating Pet Project, a program that services people disabled by AIDS. In addition to providing economic relief, the program supports the unique power and healing that comes from the connection between people and pets, especially since clients may be housebound and have limited social contact or energy for daily tasks.

Pet Project matches volunteers one-on-one with clients, handling most of their pet care needs on a monthly basis, and enables clients to keep their pets while spending their limited resources on food and other living expenses for themselves. All services and supplies are donated or purchased with donated funds. Committed to supporting people and pets as lifelong companions, Pet Project literally makes the difference between keeping an animal and having to give it up.
