Movie Fundraiser for AnimalSave

Barbara and Mike Getz, owners of the historic Del Oro Theater, are sponsoring a fundraiser for AnimalSave to coincide with the release of Walt Disney's latest movie, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua."

If you donate $20 to AnimalSave, you'll be entered into a drawing for a Movie Package for Four, which includes four movie tickets, one large popcorn, two medium drinks and a candy.

In the movie, Chloe, a Chihuahua dog living in Beverly Hills, finds herself lost while on vacation in Mexico and needs help to get home.

To enter the drawing, visit the Del Oro on Mill at Neal streets or the AnimalSave Thrift store on 520 E. Main St., Grass Valley.

For more information, call AnimalSave at 271-7071.
