My Samoyed club meeting

Today we spent most of the afternoon at a meeting of our Samoyed club, the Chicagoland Samoyed Club. The clubs members decided to send a $500 donation to the AKC CAR Canine Support & Relief Fund for use in helping dogs and handlers working in search and rescue after the hurricane, the veterinary units that support these groups, and not-for-profit shelters providing care for domestic animals orphaned or displaced as a result of the disaster. 100% of the funds received are used for the dogs—none for administrative costs.

This is a huge amount for our little club. We don’t have an enormous treasury and the members are all people of limited means. It shows how much the events of the last week or so have touched us.
