It is a great way for the community to give donations for these pets and to make money for the ARC Foundation.

They made sure every pet was part of it, made sure everybody received something, and explained what they were doing to help these other animals.

They looked adorable in the clothes.

We, as a community, live as the wind blows with visitors; they bring the money into the city, ... When they come, they require protection. The way I see it, it is an insurance premium I pay so that visitors and residents can be safe.

I think this is a very special community and our foundation has never raised this much money in such a short period of time and I think it's a real community commitment and really a desire to have a much better emergency department, so it's a wonderful story.

That $350,00 - that doesn't even include the money received outside of the community or the millennium scholarships. There is a lot of money out there for students.
