Our first meeting of the 2025-2026 Club Year! Today is Ruth Hartley’s 102nd birthday. Happy Birthday, Ruth! It is also the day we celebrate our past Club Presidents, Ruth Hartley and Susan DeVoss. Our speaker, Abby Harlan will tell us all about Medical Mutts, an organization that trains service dogs and, should the client prefer, trains owner’s own dogs as service dogs. All dogs chosen to be trained by Medical Mutts are rescue dogs. (I think Abby might be bringing a four-legged guest to our meeting.)
