Our special speaker for the evening was Cynthia Smith, President of Wayside Waifs. Cynthia gave us an overview of her book, “Dogs Get Cancer, Too” and other articles she is writing to be published in the Metro Pet magazine. She gave a wonderful talk and we all appreciated her efforts to help pet owners with a tough event of living with their beloved pets through a cancer diagnosis.
We gave 5 of her books as door prizes to members who attended the meeting.
