Every morning I take a short drive over to my parents home. This is the home where I lived as a child and also where my Horses live. My 86 year old mother is a voracious reader. She reads the newspaper front to back and collects articles to share with her friends and family. On Saturday February 21st, 2009 the Arizona Daily Star wrote an article regarding a group of University of Arizona students. These students identified a need in our community and have organized a program where people can donate their used Prom/Ball/Graduation gowns.
Between 10 am and 4pm every Friday until the end of March 2009, people can donate gowns at the University of Arizona Mall. An email address was provided as beckyb@happilyeverafteraz.org
I was very inspired by the article and wanted to get the information out there!
These girls really have the Cowgirl Spirit!

Contagious Equine Metritis
News Worthy: United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, following:
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/newsroom/hot_issues/cem/index.shtml
"What is CEM?Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) is a sexually transmitted disease among horses caused by a bacteria Taylorella equigenitalis. Clinical signs may include a mucopurulent vaginal discharge in up to 40% of affected mares, abortion and infertility. Stallions typically show no clinical signs. Stallions and mares can become chronic carriers of CEM and be sources of infection for future outbreaks. The transmission rate is high and naturally occurs by mating, but contaminated instruments and equipment may be an indirect source of infecting mares and stallions. The bacteria can also be spread via semen collected for artificial insemination."
