A fun way to help the Spay and Neuter Task Force is to attend their Bingo Night fundraiser which is coming up October 21 at the Elks Lodge on Galena. Doors open at 5pm and games start at 6pm. "We're asking everybody to come up, play some bingo and have a good time," she said adding that there will be snacks available and a few surprises as well.

The Butte Spay and Neuter Task Force has been hard at work around town. You may have even been to one of their spay and neuter or vaccination clinics. Over the years they have sterilized and uncountable number of pets here in the Mining City and have prevented what can only be estimated at thousands of unwanted dogs and cats from winding up on the streets or in the shelter. Even with that number, their "task force" in numbers is relatively few. Their work is noble. Their work is certainly humane. And their work is also expensive. They are looking for funds and they are looking for foster families. And there are several ways that you can help.
