As part of our year-end efforts with fundraising for Humane Society of the North Bay, we were featured in the Vallejo Times-Herald on the cover again (see below). Yesterday was the first of two times we are doing this fundraiser in 2022.
Photo credits for some of these are Andrea Rodoni and Manny Furtado.
Halloween was in the air at the Farmers Market on this day when we tabled for Humane Society of the North Bay, as volunteers and I do about once a month year-round. In hindsight, we REALLY should have had some candy to hand out. Oops.
I tabled for the Humane Society of the North Bay again at the Greater Vallejo Recreational District‘s first Pup-kin Patch Dog Festival. Shando came later with our most ambulatory dogs and he caught the eye of a photojournalist.
This was our first time going to any street fair in San Francisco since Covid and we took the opportunity of taking the Vallejo Ferry for the first time, which was quite a cool experience.
While one can easily find all kinds of naughty pictures of the attendees, we will just include a few family-friendly pictures here to prove we were there. <smile>
We did get a chance to run into a lot of close friends who we hadn’t seen in a while.
Yearly we travel to Guerneville to take part in Lazybear Week. The Russian River area is an amazing part of California that we just adore.
I volunteered with the Humane Society of the North Bay on July 4 at the Barbara Kondylis Waterfront Green. There were some amazing kites and it was good to bring a lot of exposure to the shelter.
While we will be in Ohio for San Francisco Gay Pride, fortunately there are plenty of pride events happening in Solano County.
We also attended the Pride Picnic for the second year in a row on Mare Island put on by Solano Pride and Vallejo Gay Network.
Shando was recruited to volunteer at the Humane Society of North Bay‘s presence at this first annual Benicia Dog Festival for the benefit of animals that are displaced by natural disasters. Joe is on the HSNB board. Please consider donating to help homeless cats and dogs in the area!
I don’t usually try to compete with the most outrageous outfits, but I was kind of proud of my ensemble this year, which used Shando’s bowtie from our wedding and my bear-themed suspenders.
