Carlucci Promotes Effort to Reduce Dog Bites

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 21, 2009, at 7 P.M. in room 301. Dog bites are one of the nation’s most commonly reported public health problems, despite being largely preventable. Alarmingly, 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). 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 about dog safety in our community, Clarkstown Town Clerk, David Carlucci, has invited Kerry Potter-Kotecki of 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.
With over four million victims of dog bites annually in America, Town Clerk Carlucci urges residents to educate themselves at this important seminar. Please visit www.clarkstownclerk.com or call Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci at 845-639-2010 for more information or questions.
