WALK WOOF WAG EVENT CELEBRATES 10TH YEAR Chico, CA -- The Walk Woof Wag has been a Chico favorite event for 10 years. This beloved Chico event was inspired by Chico youth, Bryce Velasco, who wanted to honor his dog, Jasmine, who was adopted through Chico Animal Shelter. In 2014, Bryce was in the 8th grade at Marsh Junior High School and taking a leadership class that required students to perform a service project. Bryce’s vision was a walk that would be festive and fun and raise funds for Chico Animal Shelter. He joined forces with Dr. Sarah Richardson, owner of the Canine Connection, and raised $90,000 to date for the Chico Animal Shelter’s medical fund. Ten years later, the event is still a success and the largest fundraiser for the most needy animals in Chico.
WHEN: Saturday, Oct 28th 9 am - 12 pm
WHERE: Lower Bidwell Park - Sycamore Field
REGISTER: www.WalkWoofWag.com
The community is encouraged to attend, bring friends, family, and, of course, their dog, enjoy games and treats, and connect with the other pet lovers who want to raise money for the Chico Animal Shelter’s medical fund.
The Chico Animal Shelter relies on donations from the community to help abandoned, ill and injured animals in the city. Every year, they have to raise $65,000 to meet the medical needs of the community and bring these animal’s back to health to be adopted out to loving, forever homes.
To make this event a success, the Walk Woof Wag aims to have 500 participants.
Event planner Celeste Cramer stated, “We are aiming to have 500 people attend the event, and we look forward to sharing the story about the Chico Animal Shelter’ medical fund with the community members who join the walk.” She added that anyone interested in becoming a donor or sponsor of the event can visit www.WalkWoofWag.com to join the cause.
Deadline to have a business, organization or family name on the event shirts is Sept 22nd.
Current major sponsors include: The Canine Connection, North Valley Community Foundation, Tri Counties Bank, Friends of the Animal Shelter, For The Love Of Dog, PG&E, Pink Penguin Events & Marketing, KZFR, Thunder 100.7, Power 102.1, Z Rock 106.7, and Bob FM 92.7. Updated list can be found on every page of our website.
Note about this year’s poster: Every year the Walk Woof Wag committee chooses an inspirational dog to be featured on the event commemorative posters.
Each featured dog has benefited from the medical fund in which the event raises funds as a reminder of what the event is all about (READ MORE).
For the 10th year, two special dogs were chosen. Hallie and Fonzie were found in an abandoned truck soaking wet and dying of Parvo.
Thanks to the Chico Animal Shelter’s staff and the help of the medical fund, they were nursed back to health and adopted into loving homes.

Here is a summary of requirements that apply to all parcels in Town:
• Removal of hazardous vegetation within 100 feet of any
structure, including those on adjoining parcels
• Immediately around all structures must be kept free of
combustible materials, including firewood
• Parcels 1.5 acres or less require removal of hazardous
vegetation on the entire parcel
• Parcels larger than 1.5 acres require removal of hazardous
vegetation 30 ft. from all property lines

Residents of Butte, Lake, Mendocino and Yuba who suffered damage or losses from the devastating fires that began October 8, 2017 and continue to burn, can now register for disaster assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), if they are able to do so.
The amendment to the presidential disaster declaration of October 10, 2017 now makes federal assistance available to eligible individuals and business owners in a total of six northern California counties: Butte, Lake, Napa, Mendocino, Sonoma and Yuba.
Survivors who primarily reside in one of the six designated counties can apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by phone at 800-621-3362 or (TTY) 800-462-7585. Applicants who use 711 or Video Relay Service may call 800-621-3362. The toll-free numbers are open 7am to 10pm seven days a week.
Applicants will be asked for the following information:
• Social Security number
• Address of the damaged primary residence
• Description of the damage
• Information about insurance coverage
• A current contact telephone number
• An address where they can receive mail
• Bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit of funds
Disaster assistance for homeowners and renters may include grants to help pay for:
• Temporary housing
• Essential home repairs
• Uninsured and underinsured personal property losses
• Other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance.
Low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are available for businesses of all sizes, private non-profit organizations, homeowners and renters. Disaster loans cover losses not fully compensated by insurance or other recoveries.
FEMA grants do not have to be repaid. FEMA assistance is nontaxable and will not affect eligibility for Social Security, Medicaid or other federal benefits.
Registering with FEMA is required for federal aid, even if a survivor has registered with another disaster-relief organization, such as the American Red Cross.
Survivors should register even if they have insurance. FEMA cannot duplicate insurance payments, but underinsured applicants may receive help after their claims have been settled.

NVCSS CASA will be holding two CASA training sessions in early 2018.
Training in Shasta County [Redding] begins on Wednesday, January 10 and will be held in the CASA Center at NVCSS at 2400 Washington Avenue.
Butte County training [Chico] begins on Thursday, February 1 and will take place at
our office in Chico.
CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes. Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives. CASA volunteers are definitely superheroes for the work they do for these children!
