Whatcha Doing This Weekend

Hopefully, we'll see you at one of our events this weekend.  On Saturday, why not join WOKQ's team for the American Heart Associations' Seacoast Heart Walk, we'd love to see you. This is a FREE walk.  We would appreciate your donation, but if you can't donate, don't worry.  Come join the fun!

On Sunday, Mark and I (and Brandy, the Morning Waking Pooch), will be spending the day with the Cocheco Valley Humane Society.  Brandy is a former resident at CVHS and we love to help out whenever we can.  It's going to be a great way to spend a few hours on Sunday and help out animals that need a home.
