SUBJECT: Kincaid Cat Tracks for Spring 2022

Spring Is The Season For Volunteers

Spring is definitely the time to get more active. This means we are in need of parent volunteers more than ever to help with several upcoming programs and to serve on our 2022-2023 Board of Directors. So as you read through this issue of Cat Tracks, take notice of the various event dates, online sign up links, and consider volunteering.
