BUY A T-SHIRT…

… at T. Hee Greetings. A hip departure from the usual school spirit designs, the “PEACE, LOVE, LAKE HIGHLANDS” women’s cut long-sleeved tees are especially popular, says Katie Fuerst, the artist and owner of Fuerst Designs who helped design the shirt. Lake Highlands High School senior Caroline Keffer coined the slogan. “We tweaked it a bit, and with her blessing, made the shirt,” Fuerst says. Purchase the shirts at T. Hee Greetings, 9661 Audelia, for $24, and 10 percent of the sales through April will go to help the senior class pay for year-end celebrations and events.  For an extra $10, Fuerst will personalize the tee with your class year. Visit t-heegifts.com for more info about Fuerst Design products.

OR MEET FELLOW DOG PEOPLE…

… at Dee’s Doggie Den Valentine’s Singles Mingle, 7:30-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb 10.
