FREE Pet Vaccine Clinic for Amarillo Pet Owners
Set for Saturday
AMARILLO – The City of Amarillo (COA) Animal Management and Welfare Department (AAMW) is partnering with the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine and several local/national partners to facilitate a community-wide free pet vaccine clinic.
The clinic is Saturday (April 11) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Pavilion at the Santa Fe Depot, 401 S. Grant St. No registration is required. The clinic is first-come, first-served and available while supplies last.
“Every pet deserves the opportunity to live a healthy life,” said AAMW Outreach Manager Kali Dennis. “By reducing barriers to care, we can support pet owners in giving their animals the protection they need and deserve.
“We are grateful to our event sponsors for their support in covering the cost of vaccines and microchips, and to our community partners for their collaboration and volunteer efforts that help make these free services possible.”
Available vaccines: Rabies (dogs/cats); DAPP (dogs); HCP (cats) and microchips (dogs/cats).
The clinic is open to Amarillo residents only. Dogs must be on a leash, and cats must be in a carrier.
The free clinic is made possible thanks to partners which helped fund and support the event:
National nonprofit organization Petco Love, Central Bark Amarillo, Street Toyota, Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine and the Bissell Pet Foundation and the Dave and Cheryl Duffield Foundation.

HANDY GAL 101 WORKSHOP
Free Basic Home Maintenance and Safety Workshop for Women
The Lucille and Leo Caiafa, Jr. Center for Advancement is proud to announce a partnership with the Amarillo Fire Department (AFD) and Cadre Fuller Construction to host a Handy Gal 101 Workshop. This free, hands-on event will take place on Saturday, April 11, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 2308 SW 7th St.
Designed to foster safety and self-sufficiency, the workshop invites women of all ages—and their teenage daughters—to gain essential home maintenance skills. The
afternoon kicks off with the AFD providing critical fire safety training and live demonstrations on proper fire extinguisher use. Following the safety session, industry experts will lead interactive stations covering:
- Home Systems: Basic plumbing and HVAC maintenance.
- Electrical: Safety tips
- Weatherization: Preparing your home for the elements.
- The Toolbox: Identifying and using the right tools for every job.
“We want to equip the women in our community with the confidence to manage their homes safely,” said Kim Lester, Resource Coordinator “This workshop is about more
than just repairs; it’s about independence.”
In addition to invaluable skills, every participant will receive a free gift. The event will also feature door prizes and refreshments for all attendees.
Registration is required by April 8. To secure a spot, participants can call 806-358-7803, email cfa@sharinghopeministry.org, or register online at https://form.jotform.com/231495669649172

When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. Henrietta’s story plays out against a landscape of early feminism and science, reminding us all what we can achieve when we allow curiosity and wonder into our lives.
This celestial romance and true story of discovery is an irresistible combination of humor, love, feminism and universe-revealing science. Make plans now to see this riveting new play!
NOTE: Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the performance for this production.

The Sunday matinee performance on April 19 will offer ASL Interpreters for the deaf and hard of hearing community.
