Anniversary Homecoming Picnic
A beautiful day to welcome fall and a fine day for a celebration! 121 well mannered Greyhounds, 166 humans, good food and drink, vendors, soothing music, speeches, prizes, awards, companionship, etc. Our 13th Anniversary Homecoming Picnic at Mechanicsburg's Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Park, on Saturday, September 20, went off without a hitch thanks to the efforts of the cadre of loyal volunteers listed below to whom we extend our sincere thanks.
I
A special thank you to Judi Kaufman for reconditioning collars and Kent Roberts for drawing caricatures, both of whom donated the proceeds to PG, Inc., Angie & Tina of Angie's Bark Avenue for providing free pedicures for the hounds and to all those who brought delicious covered dishes to share with their fellow adopters.
During the program, recognition was given to the volunteers who provided Foster Care during the past year. Those included: Maggie Ruff, Delene Russell, Sue Clausen, Dan & Mary Heatherly, Theresa & Doug Gosik, Tammy & Dave Holroy, Tiffany & Pat Smith, Gail & Kevin Fisher, Brenda Bankert, Lisa Layser, Pam Shabroon, Lora Apaliski, Rick & Cathy Campbell, Judi & Bill Kaufman, Ilene & Steve Sauertieg and Kelly & John McGinley The Fortitude Award, presented for the third consecutive year by David Holsopple and Richard Reigle, is given in Memory of "Goliath," the first of nine greyhounds they have adopted from PG, Inc. He was known during his racing career as "Fortitude." He stood for what his name means, Virtue, Strength and Courage, and this award continues in that tradition. It is given to a hound and/or its human for overcoming or helping another hound overcome adversities far and beyond their normal expectations. This year, the award went to "Ivan Apaliski." Volunteer of The Year 2007-08 awards were presented to Ilene Sauertieg. The "Catfish" Memorial Award For Good Citizenship went to "Duncan" Smith.
