CAP Visit

Most of you know that Debi, and many of us, have a soft spot for animals. She mentioned at our monthly association meeting that Citizens for Animal Protection was in a financial bind and could use some help. She accepted a motion from the floor to donate $500 from the HGCAA. The motion was passed unanimously. Then she passed a can around for personal donations and said her brother's estate would match any donations up to a $1000. An incredible $697 was raise! That is almost $1900 we were able to donate to CAP. Several association members went to CAP to deliver the money and received a personal tour of their facilities.
