Calender of Events;

Hello everyone;  Shirley here.  I thought  I should post our Calender of Events for 2013  just in case you are planning some holidays in our area this year and perhaps hoping to stop by for some time with the donkeys.
  It has been a good winter  here with fairly mind weather.  We still have snow but it  is slowly melting and we are all thinking thoughts of spring. 
The donkeys have enjoyed good health and are looking forward to more sunshine to come to this valley. 
We are planning for a Exciting season and with lots of fun and educational events to be held each month.  We are already booking visits to Seniors Care Homes in our area with Hilda, Margherita, Hoss and Tiny Tim being the Ambassador donkeys for the visits. 
The Refuge also has its own Page on Facebook, just search for Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society and Click "Like" to follow our weekly postings as well as to help us spread the word about the Refuge.  We look forward to see you all again this season.  Here is the Calender for your perusal.  Thanks again for all your interest in the donkeys.   Shirley
