LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 9-13-12

Thank you
Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors and Volunteers of the Green Dog Rescue Project, we want to thank this community for your tremendous support of our first inaugural fundraiser held on August 25th. We nearly sold out the event AND through generous donations, we netted just over $50,000! A special thanks to Karen and George Dutton for the use of Dutton Ranch and the fabulous Dutton Ranch wines, Octavio Diaz for the wonderful cuisine and margaritas, and Ruth McGowan’s for the beer. A great time was had by all AND we were able to send five pooches to their forever homes as a result of that evening! Thank you to the new pet parents! You made room in your hearts for dogs who need someone to love and by doing so, you made room in our rescue so that we could save 7 more dogs from a bad situation in Auburn. They are now safe at our shared facility in Windsor, where they’ll be rehabilitated and ready for adoption in the future. Thank you to all of our sponsors, Healdsburg Sunrise Rotary, Costeaux Bakery, Sonoma Bank and the Wallace’s for helping us realize our dream. And last, but certainly not least, a BIG thank you to the volunteers who kept things moving, on track and running smoothly. We couldn’t have done it without you. Until next year, or sooner.

WMS music
Editor: A LOT of students have signed up for beginning band and strings at Windsor Middle School – our largest classes ever!  So, we could use a little help providing instruments and music books. If you had a student who played music in middle school but no longer plays and you have an instrument and/or a music method book that are not being used, we would love to talk with you. Please contact Joella Olsen at 836-0816 about contributing your unused music items.
Thank you!
