Children's Music Festival scheduled

Music For Minors, a locally- based, nonprofit organization that sends docents to schools to offer music education, is the chief sponsor of a Children's Music Festival, set for 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., June 20, at Egan Intermediate School in Los Altos.

The festival, a benefit for Music For Minors, will feature children's performers Linda Arnold, Lisa Atkinson, Tim Cain, along with clowns and children's choirs. The theme, "Circus of the World," accents the circus and carnival-like atmosphere of the festival. Food and drink also will be sold.

The event, co-sponsored by the Los Altos School District and the Los Altos Town Crier, is $5 per person, with children age 2 and under free. Tickets are available at Linden Tree Children's Records and Books, 170 State St., Los Altos, and the Los Altos Town Crier, 138 Main St.

For more information, call Music For Minors, 941-9130, or e-mail: mfmexec@mfm.org.

Wildlife Rescue classes for volunteers

Students 16 or older interested in caring for injured wildlife can enroll in Wildlife Rescue's year-round training classes.

Mid-March through early October is the busiest time of the year for Wildlife Rescue. This is nesting season and many baby birds and squirrels fall from nests due to people pruning their trees.

Wildlife Rescue cared for 2,410 injured and orphaned wild animals, including many from the Los Altos area, last year. Approximately 58 percent of the animals treated were returned into the wild.

For more information, call 494-7417.
