San Diego, Calif. - June 24, 2002 /Xpress Press/ - Announcing the "Patent Pending" Status for "Koodels"™ and the formation of "Kid Angel Foundation." San Diego, Ca., Barbara Antinoro, inventor and philanthropist, has a vision for educating the youth of America. Her dream began in April of 2001 and now she has just crossed her first big hurdle by getting a "Patent Pending" status on the vehicle to make that dream come true. Antinoro's latest invention is the first of its kind moist heat/cool pack for pets. It is organic in its nature and totally earth friendly. No electrical cords or chemicals to harm your pet. It's a "Creature Comfort" and one might say the first "Pet Pacifier" of its kind! Its benefits are unlimited in how it will serve your pet. On each product will be a notice that will state, "A portion of these royalties will be directed towards the "Kid Angel Foundation" for supplemental educational needs. "Kid Angel Foundation" is a charity Antinoro formed to help with the educational needs of today's youth beyond the public school system. "Kid Angel" will fund instructional programs for families that cannot otherwise afford them. Additionally, "Kid Angel" will also participate in the effort of creating "educational seminars" to empower parents with the tools and necessary information impacting current educational issues. That is her vision, her passion and her mission. Knowing that this product has worldwide appeal, Antinoro is proactively researching pet manufacturers that she believes would custom fit the unique demands of both her product and charity. The universal appeal of "Koodels"™ clearly demonstrates to pet owners and pet lovers alike that this product is just what their pets need and deserve. "Koodels"™ will bring lots of comfort and contentment for the lucky pets that have been given one by their Owner or Veterinarian. Stay tuned, this is just the beginning of something BIG…and remember where you were when you first heard about "Koodels."™ Image Availability Image of dog on decorator Koodels™ case & Koodels™ basic: http://www.xpresspress.com/images/koodels.jpg Image of Koodels™ basic only: http://www.xpresspress.com/images/koodels2.jpg Image of dog using decorator Koodels™ : http://www.xpresspress.com/images/koodelsdogonly.jpg Suggested caption: HEAT IT!
