Bunkie Beta Club did it again. Saturday morning they arrived bright and early ready to work on their Christmas break. They cleaned, fed, watered and walked the dogs. They didn’t mind getting dirty and showing the dogs some much needed attention. We also received a gift donation of much needed cleaning supplies and laundry detergent. We were so busy we forgot to take pictures. Big thank you to all who helped and their teacher. Merry Christmas.
