Dearborn Animal Hospital just sent out this announcement…

Dearborn Animal Hospital Announces Our New Hospital!

It is with very mixed emotions that we officially announce that we will be moving from our location of 65 years at 715 E. College Ave. First and most importantly we are not moving far and plan on continuing to serve the Decatur & Avondale Estates area for at least the next 65 years. We will miss our landmark building that has served as our home since 1948, but we need to be able to provide the best care for our patients and their families. Our new location is less than ¾ of a mile away at 235 Dekalb Industrial Way.

This change is very exciting for the Dearborn Animal Hospital family. We have begun designing a hospital that will allow us make the transition to the new location in 10 – 12 months. This will be a big change for all of us, but we want everyone to know we will be the same Dearborn Animal Hospital, with the same great doctors and great care, but in a new, better equipped more efficient and spacious hospital with the same old fashioned personal interest in each of our patients.

Stacey sends along this press release…

 Registration is now open for Ladies Rock Camp, metro-Atlanta’s only adult rock camp experience just for ladies. Hosted by Girls Rock Camp ATL, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering girls and women through music education, Ladies Rock Camp is the ultimate three-day rock and roll fantasy for women. Participants learn how to play an instrument, form a band, write and rehearse an original song, and perform in a live public rock concert…all in just three days, and for a great cause. All Ladies Rock Camp proceeds benefit Girls Rock Camp ATL and supports the organization’s efforts to bring music education, self-esteem programming, and team building experience to girls and women of all backgrounds and abilities.

No previous musical experience is needed to attend Ladies Rock Camp, in fact, volunteer musicians will instruct participants in their choice of drums, guitar, electric bass, or keyboards and mentor the ladies’ newly formed rock bands in their songwriting and rehearsal sessions. Girls Rock Camp co-founder and Executive Director, Stacey Singer, says, “we’ve made it easier than ever for ladies to treat themselves to an amazing weekend filled with music, fun, friends, and great food! People walk, bike, and dance for good causes…why not rock for one?” And this year Ladies Rock Camp campers can have friends sponsor their participation through CrowdRise, a secure and reliable online fundraising service that makes donating simple and quick.
