Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone and every animal over at APL. Last night bad storms came through Springfield, IL. A tornado hit APL, a local animal shelter (no animals or people were hurt). We wanted to share in case people didn’t know.

But that’s not all! The next week, June 3-6, there will be projects and fun every day!

Love this place, love Julie.

Today we have Julie Krehbrel playing the harp 🪉 for us at 11 for our First Thursday Music 🎶 Series! So enjoyable and melts the stress away!

 Saturday morning from 8:30 to 9:30 we have Coffee with Cops! This is your chance to ask the kind of questions that don’t seem important enough to call the police about, but are important to you. It’s also a chance to meet the police in our community, our own community liaison officer, Trevor, will be here.

 Thanks to our lovely Sharon Neely for the wonderful spring flowers! Xoxo
