Saturday - June 19: Once again the Chamber sponsored St. Francis Animal Welfare Center Rabies Clinic was very successful. The Clinic was held this past Saturday on the lot of the old Sky Bank. Dr. Michael Sandy and staff from the Community Animal Clinic were on hand to administer the shots. Pam Weekley was on hand selling embroidered dog collars with the pet's name & owner's phone number. The clinic was postponed from a couple of weeks ago with the threat of rain and thunder storms.
There were around 80 pets inoculated at this year's clinic compared to over 100 last year. To show what effects this economy has on us, last year's number was the smallest clinic that Dr. Sandy & his staff ran up to that time. This year with 80 customers he reported it was their largest clinic.
St. Francis member Bobbi Holt reported that each customer was given one chance on either a cat supply or a dog supply give away basket. Brandy Anderson from Wellsville was the winner of the cat supply basket and Pam Jordon of East Liverpool was the lucky winner of the dog supply basket. Having to reschedule this year's clinic from a couple of weeks ago Byron Carter was unable to be there selling his delicious chicken & ribs. He was committed to another event.
Thanks to the Chamber, Community Animal Clinic & the folks of the St. Francis for making this community service available. We feel many of those pets wouldn't have got the shots without your efforts.
