Spring has finally sprung and our opportunities for service are blooming! Our monthly visits are discontinued from June to September, but that doesn't mean we aren't busy. The summer camps have already been calling and asking for our talented teams to visit. Local universities want our pups to provide a respite from the horrible storm known as finals. As always, our wonderful volunteers are eager and ready to serve. It's nice to have some time to provide our form of therapy in new and different ways.

Social Worker Sharon Henry will be the speaker at this summer's seminar focused on grief. Sharon has given this workshop to us before. It was so well received we asked her to repeat it. The event will be held June 25 at 6:30 at EJ Hospital. A notice and registration for the seminar will be posted soon. Watch your email for information.

Be sure to check out the wonderful Stacey Warnke photos from our Annual Meeting. After a horrible week of rain, the weather turned out to be sunny and gorgeous providing about 90 volunteers and family members with a much needed day in the sunshine.  All the pups were perfectly behaved and even participated in games and dress up contests. Our teams were acknowledged for their years of service with presentations topped off with fabulous door prizes.  This fun day only happens once a year. Be sure you are able to attend in 2016!

Take a short break for yourself after all you have done for others for the last 9 months. Have a safe and happy summer.

We'll see you in September!

With thanks for all you do,

Lee Gaffney
