Project Head: Bailey Taylor
Members visit the dogs and cats at the Lee County Humane Society to give them exercise, an
occasional bath, lots of love, and help in finding a home. This is a great project because you can go on
your own time as well as with the club. Just sign in the volunteer book under Circle K.

email Amanda for directions.)

The Monarch Estates project involves visiting with senior residents of the Monarch Estates retirement

conversation.
