WaIk-a-dog-a-th �n EXETER - May 5 will mark the eighth annual Walk -a -dog -a -thou, the third in Exeter. Although many Canadians will be walking 10 km with their dogs to raise funds for Canine Vision Canada in October, our local organ- izations will host the event on May 5. Our local walk will begin at 12:00 at McNaughton Park in Exet- er. Registration will commence at 11:30. Want to walk along? It's easy! Just pick up a sponsor form and get as many pledges as you can, then on May 5 come and walk our sce- nic route as far as you and Fido can. Sponsor forms are available from most financial institutions and the Town Hall or by calling 235- 1358. Many of the 35,000 registered blind Canadians as potential candi- ates could be provided with a free dog guide with the money raised at this walk. Last years' walkers raised $200,000, and this year we have set our goal to $500,000. Exeter had $1,339 pledged from walkers and sponsors in 1990 and our goal this year is to raise $2,500. Canine Vision Canada is a non profit organization that was found- ed by the Lions Foundation of Can- ada. It is supported by private and corporate donations. National spat sors for the Walk-a-Dog-a-Thon are Ralston Purina Canada Inc., Bank of Montreal and the Lions Foundation of Canada.
