On August 24, we were able to sterilize another 88 animals; 46 cats and 42 dogs.  That brings our total since 2005 to over 3500 animals. Many thanks to our volunteers, our vets and our "animal collectors" for their endless service.  Our next clinic is September 25 at the Amigos de los Animales office.  Call or email Jessica for an appointment.  6563-8686.   Our animal collectors are given the time-slot from 8:00 am to 10:30 am for the animals they bring.   All other sterilizations will be done after 10:30 am.  We want to honor those who have given so much time and energy EVERY clinic by saving a spot for them early morning.

On Sunday, our annual Venta de Patio sale brought in just over $5,000 for the continual sterilization of animals and creating feeding stations in our communities.  Thanks to the community of Boquete and surrounding areas for your great donations, our volunteers who worked the event, Jane and Laszlo for the use of their garage and Yari, Bert for cooking great hamburgers and fries, the bake sale donors and to all who spent days collecting, pricing, buying goodies and selling stuff!  Our Panamanian neighbors always look forward to this event and they were not disappointed.  Again, thanks to all! NEXT:  Bid 4 Boquete, in February....another way to participate in this wonderful community we call home.  Look for upcoming announcements for ways in which you can participate and help with your time, energy and of course, money! Together we are making a tremendous difference!
