Our Mission:

KPETS is a non-profit or-ganization established to promote Animal Assisted Therapy/Animal Assisted Activities (AAT/AAA) by recruiting, educating, unit-ing and coordinating volun-teers with the facilities, social agencies and special-needs programs whose clients may benefit from the healing and rehabilitating effects of the animal/human bond. The unconditional love of our pets is shared with those of all ages and from all walks of life.

KPETS Recap KPETS Recap KPETS Recap KPETS Fundrais e r at Fe lic it a - A HUGE SUCCESS ! ! ! Where does one start telling about an event like the "Evening with Jay Stutz" on April 28. Everything was so perfect. The dinner committee, chaired by Roslyn Rhodes put together a

TOP-NOTCH evening! I was truly overwhelmed. Thanks to each of you!

Frank Aponte, Stacey Chubb, Linda & Andy Euclide, Mary & Dan Fegley, Denise Procious, Roslyn Rhodes, Kelly Rogers, Jennifer Rule, Gini Swartzell and Cindy Wilson.

Just pulling up to Felicita was breath-taking. What an awesome place. We arrived a bit early and as we followed signs to our s pecia l even t , we weren t s u re we were a t th e r igh t p la ce. It looked like we were walking into an elite wedding reception! That was until we saw the goodie bags with paw prints all over them. The room

was filled with the committee members wearing KPETS nametags doing final touches on the details!

We found our table with the doggie bone chocolates at each setting almost too pretty to open! One hundred and thirty people came out to support KPETS that evening.

We meandered around nibbling on delicious appetizers, while checking out the silent auction tables (that is plural!) with the items to bid on. Oh my, and what a variety! From a hand-made quilt to pet portraits, from day spa certificates to gun store certificates. Week-long get-aways, autographed sports pics and ball, a huge dog bed, all kinds of doggie items and peo-ple stuff too. It was time to shop shop shop.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner - even us vegetarians! The live piano background dinner mu-sic was beautiful. But bidding turned to a frenzy as time ran out before Jay started his pres-entation.

Ah . . . th e p res en ta t ion . If you m is s ed th is even t , I m s or ry. It wa s per fect a n d ju s t for u s ! Wh a t a pers on a lity. He s s u ch a joy to lis -ten to with his wit and humor, but the knowledge this man pos-sesses is incredible. We all came home with new ideas on how to implement our pets in helping people. Jay will need to be our guest again next year, for sure.

Jay was open for questions and pictures afterwards and his smile never faded.

Paul Scott of Jazz 92.7 announced the auction winners and THEN there was even more! Door prizes! Everyone went home with one!

This event was so much more than I could have imagined. And KPETS has become so much more than I could have imagined. To all of you who helped pull it together, all of you who at-tended and supported the event, and to those of you who made donations even though you cou ldn t be th ere. Thank you This was the biggest fund-ra is er we ve ever h a d - a n d it s a ll THANKS TO YOU ! - Karen Gerth

Evening with Jay Stutz! Just wanted to say congratulations on the success of the fund raising event Saturday evening! The com-mittee did an amazing job- the choice of setting, the organization, the food, the speaker- everything was great! I travel to fund raisers and conferences all over the country with my husband, and he agreed that this event was on a par with any professionally arranged event we have attended. Hoping this will be-come an annual event!
