For the second year in a row we supported a local charity, 'Operation Santa Paws' this
holiday season.
Thanks to your generosity the donation box was almost filled to the brim!
On Friday December 22nd, I drove up to the Operation Santa Paws
drop off site at the spcaLA P.D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village in Long Beach to drop off our box. You can see our big
red box in the picture. This is only a fraction of the thousands of pounds of pet food, grooming products and chew toys that
had been collected.
Inside the facility, "Santa Paws" and his volunteers placed the gifts under a Christmas tree
and handed out a few treats to the animals themselves.
All in all thousands of pounds of pet food, grooming products and chew toys had been collected
for these abused and abandoned animals in our community. This year's fundraiser exceeded 2004's milestone and is considered
a huge success.
Thank you all for your generous donations, Carolyn Olson, Chancellor, SDK
