Enjoy summer Thursdays with a cool drink, a short introduction and a film. Mrs. Henderson Presents is the story of a British widow who buys an abandoned theatre in 1942 and keeps it running throughout the blitz in a very unusual way. Starring Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins at the top of their remarkable careers, it’s hilarious at times, bitter-sweet at others, and not to be missed. 2005. 103 minutes.

What options are available for sheltering your pet during a disaster? Westporter Dr. Veronica Rynn, certified animal chiropractor, will discuss the critical points on how to prepare checklist and make plans to keep everyone safe. After Hurricane Katrina hit she was horrified about what happened (and didn't happen) to all the animals in the midst of the chaos. She immediately became trained in animal disaster services through United Animal Nations. This organization is based out of Sacramento and travels throughout the U.S. responding to various emergencies from puppy mill takeovers to natural disasters where animals need sheltering. Dr. Rynn is on the ESF-11 Animal Disaster Planning Committee for Fairfield County and is a member of Westport CERT.

This is the third in in the Dog Days of Summer. Check out the other programs on Tuesday, July 28, Thursday, July 30, and Monday, August 3!
