                On March 4^th along with all our other classmates an event was put together to help raise awareness for the causes of our social groups. My group was the animal rights group and as the media liaison I got to design and create all the flyers that we were going to pass out. Two of the main issues that I feel are important in the Central Valley with animal abuse are the amount of kill shelters that there are and the lack of pet owners knowledge of pet services out there. So I decided to create two flyers; one with information on 7 no kill shelters around the area of Fresno, Selma and Clovis area. The second flyer had information on low income services of spay and neutering and shot services of 3 areas in Fresno. I made sure all the information that I put down was accurate calling all the numbers and making sure they were places that still existed. I created another two additional flyers to pass out on March 4^th. One was our mission statement which stated that our group would help promote and educate proper placement for animals in the Central Valley. The other flyer was a chart of recent statistics on animal abuse in the United States as a whole. On all of the flyers I made sure I put our Instagram name at the bottom of the page so if people had questions they could follow us on there.

                On March 4^th our group was able to promote and pass out these flyers to people. For a good two hours we were tabling and conversing with people about our cause. I feel that we had a good outcome. A lot of people took the flyers about the low income spaying and neutering and the no kill shelter which to me was great because I knew these were the two issues that we have the most in the valley. This was the first event that I have ever participated in doing anything like this and I must say it was a great experience. It was a great opportunity to be a voice for our causes and I am sure all the groups in our class enjoyed it as well. It's a great way to meet new people and interact with others about issues that are important in society.
