Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci will be sponsoring a seminar on dog bite prevention, in honor of National Dog Bite Prevention Week, at Clarkstown Town Hall, 10 Maple Avenue, New City, NY, on May 17, 2007, at 8 P.M. in room 311. Dog bites are one of the nation’s most commonly reported public health problems, despite being largely preventable. Alarmingly, more than 50% of children are bitten by age 12. Therefore, as the licensing authority for issuing dog licenses, Carlucci feels a responsibility about taking action in educating residents on this important safety issue.
In order to raise awareness and in hopes of promoting dog safety in our community, Clarkstown Town Clerk, David Carlucci, has invited Teresa Lewin, a renowned Animal Behavior Specialist and Dog Bite Prevention Educator from Doggone Safe, a not for profit organization, to provide an informative seminar for residents. The seminar will provide empowering information to promote healthy, safe, dog friendly communities! This program is an excellent opportunity for parents, dog owners, or anyone who is around dogs– Learn to speak dog!
Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci and Doggone Safe are also co-sponsoring a poster contest open to all Clarkstown Schools, grades K-5. The winner will be recognized in writing from David Carlucci, Clarkstown Town Clerk with a certificate for a free “Be a Tree” dog bite prevention education program for their entire class from Doggone Safe, Inc. ($150 value). The winning poster will also be featured on their website, www.doggonesafe.org, as the winner! (see below for contest rules)
