Animal Aid USA Fundraiser-An Evening with Acclaimed Dog Author Lee Harrington. Saturday October 5 in NYC

Dog lovers: I'm honored to have been invited to participate in this wonderful fundraising event for Animal Aid USA. Founded by Prince Lorenzo Borghese, Animal Aid USA relocates animals in kill-shelters to loving homes through its large network of rescue groups and volunteers. I have friends who volunteer for this group (i.e. the fabulous Jen Bush) and believe me, they work hard. Each weekend they travel to remote areas in the US and lovingly rescue hundreds of dogs. Read about them here http://animalaidusa.org/about/mission-statement/


Anyway, this event will basically be a hip NYC party, featuring books, music, authors, princes, and dogs.
 
After a short author Q&A moderated by Ms. Bush, I'll be performing covers of Pete Townshend's song "Sleeping Dog" and Heart's "Dog and Butterfly" with songstress Jen Bush. Jen will be singing some songs as well.  I believe "Hound Dog" by Elvis (duh) and "I Love My Dog" by Cat Stevens are on the list.
You might know Lorenzo as "The Bachelor." We in the animal rescue world know him as a great champion of animals with a big and generous heart. By coming and supporting Lorenzo's foundation, you are DIRECTLY saving the lives of animals in need.

Free Bark magazines and free copies of the acclaimed memoir "Rex and the City," --plus  big hugs of gratitude - will be given to the first 60 attendees.

The facebook copy reads:
Join us for a tail wagging evening of chat, song and fun with writer, singer, editor of BARK Magazine and dog lover extraordinaire, LEE HARRINGTON! The evening will begin with a lighthearted interview, then I will join Lee for a short musical performance and the evening will end with a meet and greet and book signing. Did I mention that the first 60 people will receive a copy of Lee's book, Rex and the City? Well, you will and you can even have some wine and light refreshments. Lee lives 2 hours away and graciously agreed to give her time to this fundraiser to help animals in need. Let's make it a nice showing for her.
