Welcome to all 1,425 newsletter subscribers!
What a busy Jaltemba Bay Animal Rescue spay and neuter clinic we had! There were so many dogs and cats, so many people, so many smiles, so many friends both old and new. Several operations that were performed were incredibly intricate (how do you turn away a dog that has a machete wound to its muzzle), plus the usual spays and neuters. This issue features stories from volunteers at last week's clinic and gives our readers a chance to read about their experiences in their own words. Enjoy!
To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page.
To find out what's happening this week and next, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.
In case you missed our last issue, we want to remind you that we have moved our publication date to Wednesdays in order to bring you the most timely information. So, be sure to watch for the next issue, which will arrive in your InBox on Wednesday, November 28th just in time for your morning coffee.
Saludos!
