Giving Thanks: Expressing Gratitude through Poetry & Dance on November 15

This annual Thanksgiving-time event features a book-signing and poetry readings from Our Farm: By the Animals of Farm Sanctuary by author Maya Gottfried, as well as a presentation of original works by CKDS poets and live music by singer/songwriter Michael Harren. 

Pay tribute to our animal friends and enjoy a sneak peek of new choreography from studio director Cynthia King, as we celebrate the power of compassionate choices. King will also lead an animal-themed dance-along, in which children and adults alike are encouraged to participate. Families are invited to sponsor a rescued turkey through local animal sanctuaries and see their donation matched by CKDS. 

General donations in any amount are also welcome. CKDS will distribute funds to local animal sanctuaries to support the important work that they do.
