Pets In Need non-profit animal adoption program is hosting a silent auction this Friday, November 16th from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Somerville City Club (20 Inner Belt Rd.) and all proceeds from the auction will go towards the care of the homeless animals.

Items up for auction include valuable Boston sports collectibles (including a baseball signed by Red Sox pitcher Daniel Bard!), stays at fashionable local hotels like the Liberty Hotel and the Fairmont Copley Plaza, passes to local museums, gift certificates to Boston area restaurants (including Posto, Painted Burro, Cambridge 1, East Coast Grill, & Olde Magoun's Saloon) and much more – there is something for everyone in the family!

There is no admission fee, and all ages are welcome. Refreshments will be donated by a number of local eateries, including local favorites Kickass Cupcakes and the Neighborhood. A band will be playing your favorite hits from the 80s, try your luck at the 50/50 raffle, and enjoy the cash bar!

Pets In Need is a small no-kill adoption program run privately by volunteers who have joined together to save the unwanted and abandoned animals who have come across their path. All donations and adoption fees go directly to the animals. For more information on the event, including items up for auction, please visit: http://www.petsinneedanimalrescue.org.

Kennedy School discount cards

Many of you are probably familiar with the Brown School discount cards good at such places like Dave's Fresh Pasta and Mr. Crepe. Well, the Kennedy School (Elm St. near Porter Sq) is starting a similar card but with (mostly) different vendors. Now you can support two local schools and save money for yourself and support local businesses all at the same time! For $10 you get a sturdy plastic card showing the places you can get discounts for an entire year. How does 10% off all purchases at Tags Hardware or the newly-moved Stellabella Toys sound? As well as 10% off at the Dunkin' Donuts in Davis Sq. and yummy treats at 10% off at Lyndell's. If you are interested please email me at karen (at) mkmiller (dot) org. Thanks for supporting our Somerville Public Schools! Complete listing of discounts below the cut.
