KARIN SEHLEMYER & PATTI GALLE volunteer for POOCH In the Park

CAROLYNE FILSINGER, SANDY ZIMMER, and ALBERNA LANZ for sewing personalized quilts to give to youths upon their release from MacLaren. The youths are appreciative of the skill and effort that go into their quilts, and very grateful for the gift of a "comforter" to take with them as they enter the next stage of their lives.

LAURA AMITON, store manager, and Healthy Pets NW, 2224 NE Alberta, for giving us table space during December to sell jewelry, ornaments and t-shirts and helping us raise $243. (We hope this late thank you is better-than-never!)
