WHO: The Fund for Animals' Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) -- the nation's first "spay and neuter clinic on wheels" -- and Houston Rockets' owners Leslie and Nanci Alexander.
WHAT: SNAP is celebrating it's 10,000th free spay/neuter surgery -- and preventing the births of hundreds of thousands of homeless animals in Houston -- by having a No-Birthday Party. Leslie and Nanci Alexander will be drawing winners for an evening with the Houston Rockets, including front row seats, from entries submitted by SNAP clients. Photo opportunities of the world famous SNAP "clinic on wheels" in action!
WHEN: Thursday, March 5, 1998 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
WHERE: Magnolia Multi-Service Center, 7037 Capitol. (Take I-45 South to South Wayside. Turn left on South Wayside, going under the freeway. Turn right on Capitol Street -- you will see a Subway Sandwhich Store on the left before Capitol. Magnolia Multi-Service Center will be on your left.)
WHY: The Houston Rockets provided the lead gift for the start of the SNAP project in 1994. The SNAP mobile clinic has served as a model for the entire nation for a humane approach to ending dog and cat overpopulation through prevention, not destruction.
