Rotarian of the day was Bill McGuire with our program being Connie Marshall with Emily’s Legacy Rescue.
Emily’s Legacy Rescue started in 2014.
They hold regular adoption days at the Wichita Falls Petco location.
When pets come in they are evaluated. This includes seeing if they are good with other pets and people. Their physical health is evaluated as well.
They have a 9 kennel facility off of Kelley Rd in Wichita Falls. However, they only do adoptions through applications not walk ins.
Historian, Leanne Ray, shares some wonderful local history about boot making at our November 22nd meeting.
Thank you Leanne for an incredible tale of how boots began and how they were reinvented over the years. From the man with a dream to a daughter on a mission to keep the business in her hometown town of Nocona, Tx.
