Summer Events are Big Successes Our 17th annual dog walk, "Paws in the Park" was held on Sunday,
July 11 at Oleson Park. It was HOT, but at least it didn't rain.
There were probably 100 people and about that many dogs in
attendance, and we raised over $3,500 to support the shelter. Our
heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, everyone who sponsored
their favorite dog walker, and everyone who helped make this event a
success. It was great fun, and, as usual, we met dozens of terrific
dogs and the wonderful people who are owned by them. Our first annual "Putts Fore Pets" was held on Friday, July 16 at Lakeside Golf Course. It was a beautiful summer day, and 16 teams of golfers hit, pitched and putted their way around Lakeside. What a beautiful course, and what an asset to our community! Unfortunately, no one hit a hole in one, so Shimkat Motors took their new car home, Kingsgate Health Solutions saved their $10,000 for another day, and no one won Troy Waller's new golf cart. Lots of prizes were won, however, and it looked to me like everyone had a great time. In case you're wondering, my team took last place. We were so proud! Thanks to our sponsors, our golfers, our volunteers and the staff at Lakeside. Again, we can't wait to do it again next year!
