GOLD and CHUCK COLSON

Any day now we'll be receiving notification from TDI advising that Casey has achieved their highest award, the Therapy Dogs International Gold achievement award, recognizing her having made 500 documented therapy dog visits.

Special thanks to the Scotia Rotary Club.  Their generous donation was received this week!

Charles Colson died last week.  What a truly great man!!
"I'll tell you one of the most wonderful things about being a Christian is that I don't ever get up in the morning and wonder if I'm doing anything today or if what I do matters.  I live everyday to the fullest because I can live it through Christ and I know no matter what I do today, and it may just be in my prayer time, I'm going to do something to advance the Kingdom of God.  Now does that make you fulfilled?  You bet it does!  And it gives you joy about living."

RESTORED(PARTIALLY)

On Friday, 4/20/12, Casey and I made our usual visit to Maplewood Manor.  A couple of weeks ago, Laura, the Activities Director, composed a photo release form and gave me several copies.  Yesterday, I had residents and employees that I had photograped sign the release, which consents to my publishing their photo in this blog.  The process of inserting the photos in "old" posts and new posts will begin immediately

YAHOO!

Today, 4/7/12, I received notification from the Department of the Treasury, that The Therapy Dog, Inc. had been granted 501c3 status effective 11/9/11!  Donations made from that date forward are tax deductible!

RESTORATION

Today(4/1) was a beginning of sorts.  After my recent conversation with Rebecca(Children's librarian at Burnt Hills-Balston Lake Community Library), I began reinstalling some of my photographs to the blog.  You may be familiar with the 4 photographs(that were previously on the blog).  The photos are in the "2010 Going Full Bore" posting.
