Join the Michiana Humane Society for Remember Me Thursday on Sept. 25.
It will be the 12th anniversary of the event. You are invited to dedicate candles in memory of your pets who are no longer here.
On the fourth Thursday of September, people gather all over the world to remember pets who have died, and shelter animals who never found loving homes.
Remember Me Thursday is free to all. Children and leashed pets are welcome.
The Michiana Humane Society will have a “decorating table” available beginning at 5:30pm CT. MHS says ff you want to put photos, drawings, or messages on your luminarias, you may come into the shelter to pick up bags before September 24th. They will also be available the night of the event.
The shelter will be open to the public prior to the ceremony and briefly afterward. The traditional ceremony begins at 6:30pm CT, with a few words then the lighting of the luminarias. They will leave them glowing until the sun has gone down, so that everyone can have a quiet period to remember their pets.
If you have questions, contact us at (219) 872-4499. Starting now, you may purchase your luminarias for $5 each by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3TlWlOt.
