Message from <strong>the</strong> Director<br />
A lot has happened since our last newsletter, and<br />
probably <strong>the</strong> most important item to report was that<br />
we met our 2009 fundraising goal of $350,000. We<br />
could not have done this without <strong>the</strong> support of<br />
people like you.<br />
We have also welcomed some new people to <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Chemung</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>SPCA</strong> staff. The first is Brittany<br />
Sprague, our new Offsite Event Coordinator. Brittany<br />
will now be escorting our <strong>animals</strong> to <strong>the</strong>ir many<br />
offsite appearances and presentations. Hea<strong>the</strong>r Murley,<br />
DVM, is joining our staff as our new Veterinarian<br />
of Record. Dr. Murley will be at <strong>the</strong> shelter two<br />
times a month to look after <strong>the</strong> shelter <strong>animals</strong> and<br />
to evaluate <strong>the</strong>ir health. To read more about Dr. Murley’s role in our organization, please see Page<br />
7. We’d also like to welcome back Leanne Falkingham in her new role as our Animal Behavior,<br />
Training and Outreach Manager. You can read more about Leanne on Page 11.<br />
I’m excited to say that Spay Day 2010 (February 23) was very successful. This year we had eight<br />
area veterinarians participate and donate <strong>the</strong>ir services to spay and neuter 31 shelter <strong>animals</strong>. We<br />
want to say a big thank you to <strong>the</strong> following veterinary practices: Broadway Animal Hospital,<br />
<strong>Chemung</strong> Valley Veterinary Clinic, Compassionate Companion Care, Lake Road Animal Hospital,<br />
Towne & Country Animal Hospital, Agape Veterinary Clinic, Corning Animal Hospital and<br />
Rio Vista Veterinary Hospital. Also on Spay Day, we offered free adoptions of any fixed animal<br />
which was a huge success. We adopted out seven cats and two dogs under this promotion. Please<br />
see page 5 of <strong>the</strong> newsletter <strong>for</strong> insight into why we chose to run this promotion and <strong>the</strong> motives<br />
behind it.<br />
We have a busy year ahead of us. We have added a new event to our repertoire of fundraising<br />
activities. This year we will hold our first ever Putt <strong>for</strong>e Paws golf tournament at <strong>the</strong> Willowcreek<br />
Golf Course on Friday, June 18. If you’re interested in playing, make sure to go to our Web site,<br />
www.chemungspca.org, and sign up online under <strong>the</strong> Events link. If you would like us to send<br />
you a registration <strong>for</strong>m, please make sure to call us at 607-732-1827. You can find an update<br />
