Dear Friends at Dallas Ft. Worth Metro Golden Retriever Club,

Despite all the bad things that hurricane Harvey brought, there were also good happenings. It has been amazing to

see such kindness, compassion, and caring. You are a part of that. Your concern for the sweet old souls at GRASS

touches our hearts and confirms that all will be well. Your gift ($2,500 via Pay Pal on 9/13/17) will help with

cleanup and repairs, and make sure that the old Goldens will be romping and enjoying fresh air and green grass

again soon. Thank you for your support for our mission.

The GRASS Family

PS- Sorry we were not able to send a snail mail to you, as there was no address in the paperwork.
