World Animal Day (WAD) is an international event, commemorated each year on the 4th of October, to celebrate life in all its forms. For this year, ACRES will be staging a 2-day carnival themed "Small Changes, Big Differences" right in the heart of town! To bring this theme alive, our brand new educational exhibits at this event will play a role in exemplifying simple ways to lead a more compassionate lifestyle and in encouraging people to commit to these small changes.
World Animal Day 2008
Date: 4th - 5th October 2008 (Saturday and Sunday)
Venue: Outside The Cathay
Time: 11am - 9pm
To make this event a success, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
ACRES is urgently looking for up to 40 volunteers every hour over this carnival period to help us in our educational and fundraising efforts.
