GULFPORT

Approaching its first anniversary, Elements Global Cuisine is giving January to the dogs. And cats. For a month, owners Catherine and Jose Luis Pawelek will donate $1 for every dessert sold to "Get Rescued ... In Gulfport," an effort formed in 2005 to bring together registered nonprofit animal rescue charities. On the business' actual anniversary, Jan. 5, Elements will host animal-rescue organizations and sponsors at a wine and hors d'oeuvres party. For information, call 343-9894 or e-mail elementscuisine@hotmail.com
