Press Release Body = The Albuquerque Cat Action Team (A.C.A.T.) invites everyone to
set a Guinness World Record on July 15th - the most people doing a shimmy at one
time! The goal is to assemble at least 100 people to shimmy into the record books.
The Raqs-a-Paw Belly Dance Event will be held at the Family Focus Center, 411
Monroe, NE on Saturday, July 15th.
People are encouraged participate so they can say they are part of a world record
set here in Albuquerque. The event runs from 1 pm to 5 pm, with the world record
attempt occurring at 2 pm; belly dance performances and a shimmy contest are also
scheduled. Local belly dancers will be on hand to give a quick shimmy lesson
before the record attempt. There is a $5.00 entrance donation at the door. All
money will go to the A.C.A.T. medical fund and stray/feral cat fund. Vendors will
be there. Volunteers are still needed.
The Albuquerque Cat Action Team, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is the
first no-kill foster-based group in Albuquerque dedicated exclusively to enhancing
the lives of cats. All cats in A.C.A.T. are cared for in temporary foster homes
until adoption and are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. A.C.A.T. is comprised
entirely of a group of dedicated volunteers. In just six years since its
formation, A.C.A.T. has spayed and neutered 2,500 cats and has found loving,
permanent homes for over 1,580 cats and kittens. Cats are shown for adoption every
Saturday at PETCO (San Mateo and Academy) from 11 am to 4 pm.
