KID GOVERNOR CALLS ON CONSTITUENTS TO HOLD COLLECTION DRIVES THIS SPRING

Jessica is asking Connecticut schools to hold collection drives this spring to support their local pounds and animal shelters...

"As part of my three-point platform, I am asking YOU to join me in holding collection drives in our schools to support our furry friends in local pounds and shelters because April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. Spring is the perfect time to hold a drive," stated CKG Jessica.

A Collection Drive Planning Worksheet, which helps you plan a drive in 8 easy steps, is available at the " Plan a Local Collection Drive" page at CT.KidGovernor.org. Schools that participate will receive a "shout out" on CKG Jessica's Helping Animals, Those Without a Voice blog and CKG social media!

CKG JESSICA ATTENDS

ANIMAL THERAPY DAY AT STATE CAPITOL

CKG Jessica took part in Animal Therapy Day at the State Capitol where she was honored by State Representative Diana Urban for her mission to help animals. Jessica was recognized by Representative Urban within the Hall of the House during the Connecticut House of Representatives April 12 Session.

"You're a voice for abused and neglected animals,"said Rep. Urban of CKG Jessica. "Your efforts lead the way for others, your passion for our furry friends may only be surpassed by your kindness to them. We commend your leadership and wish you every success in the future."

Jessica's day at the State Capitol also consisted of meeting with legislative and executive branch leaders, including Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman, to discuss protecting animals in Connecticut and taking part in the Animal Therapy Day press conference alongside Rep. Urban & other animal advocates.
