Can you believe it is mid-November already? Well, here is our November and December 2024 Newsletter. We have had an exciting, fun-filled year so far, with some great upcoming events in November and December.
Before we move into the calendar, I’d like to welcome our newest Board Member, Kelly Lamus. Kelly has experienced her own family adversities and knows firsthand how a service animal can lift spirits and bring joy into a difficult situation. Her love of horses and desire to serve others brought her to our website, and from there, she started volunteering and training and has evolved into a Board member. In fact, she is assisting me with this newsletter and will help me with administrative tasks moving forward. Kelly comes to us with a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Business Administration and over 30 years of Administration experience. Welcome Kelly.
