Elon Community Church chooses bark over bite with first annual Dog Day Mixer
Some say every dog has its day. This year, that day was Sunday, Sept. 15 when Elon University students and community members gathered outside of Elon Community Church for the first annual Dog Day Mixer. Students were treated to fresh food, live music and homemade ice cream — and not to mention the appearance of church member’s dogs for students to pet and play with — at the event meant to introduce students to the church community. The event was planned by the church’s University Relations committee with the intent to welcome students to the church and offer a friendly environment to any students who may be in need of a community outlet. “We want to be a resource for the students,” said Dolores Truitt, a committee member.
