Big thanks to Sarah Crane and Lynn Sigman who help me out with some of the larger helper roles so I don't drown in tasks.

Hope you enjoyed the nice Fall weather, photo opportunities and time spent with your dogs.

Many of us have watched the impact this event has had on our part of the country. We want to find a way to help that doesn't put a strain on the limited resources in the area while they are still in the early stages of recovery. We will be sharing updates throughout the month and transparency surrounding the selected donations at the end of the month.
