Greetings, GRRIN Members and Supporters:
As you know, 2016 was GRRIN’s 25th anniversary year. We celebrated at various events and looked back fondly on our accomplishments built on the foundation of our primary mission: to rescue and rehome Golden Retrievers. GRRIN recently held its annual meeting where we had the chance to take one more look back with appreciation for all of the time and contributions provided by people like you. Everyone reading this newsletter has played an important role in making GRRIN’s long-term success possible. Perhaps you served on the rescue team or volunteered for events. Maybe you adopted one of our Goldens (lucky you!!) or made a generous donation to the organization. There are many other ways you no doubt did your part. Whatever it was, whenever it happened, THANK YOU!
Now that we’
re well into 2017 and GRRIN’s 26th year, a shout-out to the GRRIN Board of Directors is overdue. Our board members work very hard behind the scenes to conduct the business of the organization. That obviously includes Golden Retriever rescue efforts but also our outreach/educational activities and fun events like Gold Rush where we gather to build community among Golden enthusiasts. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank three individuals who are rotating off the GRRIN board: Barb Garrett, Theresa Houston and Cathi Smetana. Please join me in giving them, along with all current and past board members, a standing ovation for their service to GRRIN!
Thanks again,
Kathy Glenn,
President, GRRIN Board of Directors
