Our Annual Fundraiser was a huge success!  Our supporters enjoyed an evening of dinner, dancing and a wide variety of items to bid on in our silent auction.  Over $30,000 was raised for our shelter through ticket and drink sales, silent auction, and donations.  Thanks to all those who made this eveningpossible, our attendees and all donors, but especially to Lucille Zanghi and Monique Van Damme without whose invaluable efforts and organizational skills this event would not have occurred.
