Garage Sale for the Bunnies!
October 10, 2011
In the last six months, RabbitEARS has incurred almost $10,000 in veterinary bills for injured and sick bunnies that we rescued from horrific situations. We need your help in paying off this debt. The continually sagging economy has left us with little resources to recoup our revenue.
Next Saturday, October 15 from 9:00am – 5:00pm, RabbitEARS is participating in the El Cerrito Citywide Garage Sale. We are selling pet and people-related items: beds and bowls, cages, books, collectibles, jewelry, and art. Additionally, we will offer a vegan bake sale. Beverages, dog treats and music will be provided for free! Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to introduce yourself to our wonderful rescued bunnies, guinea pigs, and hamsters and corp of young volunteers (tomorrow’s veterinarians!).
Please join us!
No Bunny Left Behind, RabbitEARS’ Community Literacy Project, is sponsoring a new book club for teenagers and adults!
August 15, 2011
Books and Bunnies will meet monthly on the second Thursday of each month. Book clubbers will read, discuss and enjoy the portrayal of bunnies in classic literature, fiction, nonfiction, popular culture and children’s books. We will explore the bunnification of rabbits from the realistic literary rabbits of Watership Down, to the comic and crafty characterizations of Bugs Bunny and Brer Rabbit, to the humanizing and cuddly portrayal of Beatrix Potter’s bunnies, and to the urbanization of modern bunnies in popular children’s books today.
The rabbit is a singularly appropriate literary creature because we see it in so many different ways: a cuddly pet, a trickster, a suspicious wild animal, an aloof and shy prey animal, a swift and destructive invader. Rabbit is a complex animal, not an animal to be underestimated or understood. It is no wonder that writers keep coming back to the rabbit!
Go to your bookshelf now, dust off Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. Read it, enjoy it all over again, and join us for our first meeting on Thursday, September 8th, 6-7pm.
