It's a Painting Party Fundraiser!

One of our amazing volunteers, Deb Sharpe, came up with a great fundraising idea. She offered to host a Painting Party. We were thrilled - and so very thankful for the generous donation.  Looks like everyone had a great time!  Deb shared the following post with us. 

Many thanks to the folks at VYCC for sharing space at the West Monitor Barn for our VT Dog Rescue fundraiser in November. It was a great event and we raised over $325 to help bring some more wonderful dogs up to VT to place in foster and forever homes. Please remember vtdogrescue.com in your holiday gift giving! (A donation makes a very nice gift for someone who has everything, and will be used locally to care for some furry friend who needs a new start in life) We really appreciate the support of VYCC in hosting our event.
