..Half-way through our eighth year and we are  planning the December dog walk once again.  I can’t believe it!

I am always acknowledging our volunteers but my hat is off to all of you who are so loyal.  Gas prices have put a crimp in a lot of lives, and our volunteers continue to visit their facilities on a weekly basis.  So many of you drive from one end of the valley to the other once a week and your dedication needs to be acknowledged.  Thank you!

We also have a new board member to welcome.  Ruth Beschloss has been a volunteer for almost two years now, doing two weekly visits, one at Lucy Curci Cancer Center and one at Eisenhower Medical Center.  Ruth served on the Board of Trustees for the Children’s Discovery Museum and is the current Chairperson on the Rancho Mirage Trails Commission.  Her board experience will serve our organization well!

As I indicated earlier, time flies, so let’s all hang in there and before we know it, the summer will be over and the wonderful fall/winter weather will be upon us!
