Lisa Antoon
In this episode of Life in LA — Life in Lower Arkansas, I sit down with Lisa Antoon, a member of the board of the Columbia County Animal Protection Society (CCAPS). Lisa joined me to talk about the organization’s upcoming Honors Night, which will be held Saturday, March 21 at Union Street Station. The evening will recognize several of the dedicated volunteers who make the work of CCAPS possible, and it will also serve as an important fundraiser to help support their mission of caring for animals in our community.
During our conversation, Lisa and I discussed the many things it takes to keep CCAPS operating — including the reality that running the organization costs around $30,000 each month. We talked about the work being done at the animal shelter, visited with some of the puppies there, and discussed the warehouse operation on South Jackson along with other fundraising efforts that help sustain their work. If you love animals and appreciate the people who work so hard to care for them, Lisa encourages you to come out to Honors Night. Tickets are $20 at the door, and it promises to be a great evening while supporting a very worthwhile cause.
Steve Nipper will serve as Master of Ceremonies. Entertainment will be provided by Rev. David Moore, Johnny Sprayberry, Phil Lester, Thomas Woolley, Jeff Smart and Nancy White & Ava Buford. Honorees will be Troy Alphin, Dr. Mark Bryant, Larry Price, Steve Strobele, Doris Warren, Clistie Utley, Terri Ferrell, Peggy Kenly, Lonnie Lockhart and more.
