HUMANE SOCIETY VALENTINE'S BALL IS FEB. 12

The St. Thomas Humane Society's annual Valentine's Ball, also known affectionately as "the doggie ball," has yet another designation this year — the Millennium Ball. Set for Saturday, Feb. 12, at Marriott's Frenchman's Reef Beach Resort, it will feature music by the Starlites, door and raffle prizes, and a silent auction.
Proceeds will benefit the Humane Society, which continues to provide a variety of community services despite being chronically underfunded, especially when the government fails to meet its vendor payment obligations for services rendered. It is best-known for the operation of the animal shelter and adoption center in Nadir, an affordable pet neuter-spay program and its weekly Sunday flea market.
Tickets for the ball are $100, which includes a sit-down dinner (you get to specify chicken, fish or vegetarian entree when you make your purchase). They're being sold at the animal shelter, Home Again, Jan-Michael's Hair Studio, Soft Touch Boutique, The Leather Shop, Dr. Andrew Williamson's new animal hospital in Frenchman's Bay, and Imperial Animal Hospital. Cocktails are at 7 p.m., followed by dinner at 8 and, after that, dancing until.
For information about reserving ball tickets, purchasing raffle tickets, placing advertising in the program book, offering donations, or just about anything else having to do with the ball is 775-0599. That's at the shelter; if there's no answer, try Brenda Dameron at 776-2469.
