Seekonk Animal Shelter
Waltz is one of the few remaining ‘hoarding cats’ that we took in a few months back after a man was taken to the hospital and it was found out that he had 20 cats living in a small one bedroom apartment in horrendous conditions. This little lady is extremely lovable and enjoys spending time with anyone willing to give her some. She likes being pet, playing with kitty toys, and most of all hanging with her littler mate and BFF, Waverly who is also up for adoption. We are really hoping that since they are so incredibly bonded they will find a great home together! If you are interested in adopting Waltz, Waverly or another adoptable cat, please come visit us at 100 Peck Street, Seekonk MA. Open 7 days a week from 2-4pm, except for Wednesday 3-6pm. Questions? Call us at 508-336-6663

Seekonk Arts Council Seeks Funding Proposals
SEEKONK ARTS COUNCIL SEEKS FUNDING PROPOSALS for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs. The Seekonk Arts Council is announcing that applications are now being accepted for the 2015 grant funding cycle. All applications must be postmarked by Wednesday, October 15, 2014. According to Council spokesperson Martha Torrance, grants are available to support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Seekonk, including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies or performances in schools, workshops and lectures. The Seekonk Arts Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The LCC Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation, supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, sciences and humanities every year. The state legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, which then allocates funds to each community. This year, the Seekonk Arts Council will distribute about $4300 in grant monies. Projects funded in 2014 included a Chinese acrobat at the Aitken School, a musical performance at the Senior Center, and musical theater performances at the Martin School and Hurley Middle School. Additionally, the Council funded an a cappella Women’s chorus that performed during Women’s History month at the Library, a pastel drawing workshop at the Library, a Renaissance music concert, and a Swing Band that played at Seekonk Meadows this summer. Decisions about which activities will be granted funding are made at the community level by a board of municipally appointed volunteers. The members of the Arts Council are: Debbie Block, Bill Clark, Patti Dalton, Maria Holme, Martha Torrance, and Charles Waddington. If you would like to sponsor a Massachusetts or Rhode Island presenter/performer who offers programs in the Arts, Humanities, and the Interpretive Sciences, or if you are a performer who can find a sponsor, you can apply for a small grant (average amount is $250-$500). This money can help to fund a performance or program that will benefit Seekonk residents. Applications can be found at the Seekonk Public Library, the Public Schools, Town Hall, as well as at www.mass-culture.org/Seekonk. Questions may be directed to Arts Council Chair Bill Clark, at brotherb2@comcast.net. Applications must be postmarked by Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014, and mailed to 100 Peck St., Seekonk, MA 02771.
