BIG excitement from a little pug!

The first Pug Meetup Group party at Animal Haven Soho was a HIT!
Everyone had a fabulous time and is looking forward to playing there regularly. We estimate that over the course of 2 ½ hours, 65 pugs and upwards of 120 humans passed through the doors eating and partying. While no amount would ever be “enough” in my eyes, we were able to raise $515 for AH through per pug fees ($5.00 each) and our donation raffle (to be a regular happening at every one of our AH Soho events). We also collected a few product donations (case of paper towels, garbage bags, Windex, dishwasher detergent, etc.).
So, needless to say, I think this was the start to a beautiful relationship!

My proudest moment!
Back in April when Jennifer Bristol, Associate Director of Animal Haven, told my mom that we were going to be honored at this year's Going Home Luncheon, my mom cried.
And then when Jennifer emailed mom the names of the other two honorees -- Lynn Redgrave and Anne Craig -- she cried again.
And THEN when Marcello Forte, Executive Director of Animal Haven, presented us with the Florence Brenner Award she cried AGAIN!
I truly believe she has "issues." But maybe all humans have these weird issues! I mean, why all the crying over such GOOD things?!
Nonetheless, mom made a lifetime commitment to Animal Haven so there is no turning back now!
Some psychologist said that there is no true altruistic act and that philanthropy is basically selfish. If these things are true, I have never been so proud to be selfish!
