Hot Springs. The Blessing is held annually in conjunction with the
Feast of St. Francis, a patron saint of animals, all living things
and the environment.

Puttin on the Dog...and Cat
"The Third Annual 'Puttin' on the Dog...and Cat' on April 7th was
rated a "five paws" event by all who attended the evening
fundraiser at the Coronado Center. Villagers sampled a
variety of salads, entree items, hors d' oeuvres and desserts
provided by area restaurants and AWL supporters. The Silent
Auction tables were filled with everything from glamorous jewelry
to unique pet products donated by businesses and individuals.
High bidders took home lovely gift items and gift certificates.
Lucky tickets holders won door prizes and two benefit drawing
ticket holders each won a custom-made Adirondack chair to be
painted with designs of their choice.
A Big Thank You To all that made this success
Our 3rd annual "Puttin' on the Dog..and Cat" fundraiser was a sellout
event again this year. Our thanks to many talented and dedicated
volunteers who made it happen. Thank you Dizzy's, Chatty's, El
Acapulco, Fiesta Bowl, Home Plate and The Village Pub restaurants and
our supporters Jennifer Young, Deanna Anderson, Jackie Morris, R.C.
Shipley and Carol Tubbs for the entrees, hors d'oeuvres and desserts.
The food was delicious!
Our Silent Auction committee filled many tables with wonderful items
donated by area businesses and generous benefactors. The
presentation and all of the donors are 1st class!
The Event volunteers managed the evening's activities while the
Village Note-ables provided the tunes and Wally Newburn entertained
the crowd and directed the auction. The music was wonderful and
Wally is the best emcee in the Village!
The Village Voice staff and KVRE radio personalities who always
support our events were most generous with their coverage of our
fundraiser. We thank you all for the terrific publicity. And special thanks to the Villagers for your continued support and caring. Because of you there are many "Happy Tails" at the shelter each year. Our appreciation for your generosity is without measure! Some of the pets
