Cassandra Constable and Corey Laframboise, son Wyatt and their dog Harley, drove from California last week, to visit family. They are staying with Cassandra’s parents Michael and Connie Constable in the Albany area. All of Cassandra’s family, including Carol and Alden Constable, and Corey’s family from Massachusetts came to Michael’s and Connie’s home to celebrate Wyatt’s 1st birthday. It was quite the gathering so everyone had time to visit and meet one year old Wyatt. Cassandra, Corey, Wyatt and Harley will stay for about 3 weeks before returning to California.

The Greene County Animal Alliance is a registered 501C(3), not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to obtaining a facility for companion animals in need in Greene County. Resources from outside the county are often overwhelmed, which leaves citizens and rescuers in Greene County without adequate alternatives. The facility will not only provide a safe place for stray and unwanted companion animals but will create a bridge for TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return), fostering, adoption and education through strong community partnerships. To build a companion animal shelter in Greene County your financial support is needed. Please donate to the Shelter Fund on the website and help make the dream of a shelter in Greene County a reality—greenecountyanimalalliance@gmail.com; www.greenecountyanimalalliance.com.
Thank you to all law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, healthcare providers, volunteers, farmers, truck drivers and so many more.

Until next week take care, be thankful, be respectful, be safe and please be kind to one another. Your act of kindness may change someone’s life.
