Dear Friends of SYVHS/DAWG,

I wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for being a part of this organization and joining us at our biggest fundraiser of the year! Whether you are a first time Spayghetti attendee, repeat donor, volunteer or staff member, your presence matters. It truly takes all of us to make this possible. We are only able to do the great work that we do, because of your willingness to support us in whatever capacity you can. We cherish your contributions, and we are so excited to continue to push boundaries and do more!

It is difficult to put into words the excitement and joy I feel when discussing my return to SYVHS/DAWG. This organization has been near and dear to my heart, and I feel lucky to help guide us into the future. If you have had the pleasure of speaking with this current Board Member team and/or staff, you will quickly realize that the amount of passion and heart is unprecedented. We are all here to work together and create a haven for the animals in our care and to guide our community in the care and understanding of these great animals we love so much.

Our team is excited to build our programming to include robust Foster and Volunteer programs and increase our educational opportunities for the community. We look forward to opening our Public Veterinary Clinic and being able to offer good quality, low-cost care once again. In these ways we will be able to help more animals find loving homes and keep animals in homes that may need assistance.

I truly look forward to meeting you at the event and want to hear from you. If you have wanted to help or have felt the urge to foster or volunteer, take this as an invitation to reach out and make that happen. We can find the right task for each of you and look forward to expanding our great
community!

Thank you,
Shana Schank, DVM
Executive Director, SYVHS/DAWG
