Summer is in full swing and I can tell by everyone's Facebook pages, you're all enjoying the time off. For the PVMA Executive Board, it's still been a busy summer of planning.
We raised approximately $620 during our Jamba Juice Fundraiser on June 3rd. Thanks to everyone who helped raise money for the new Gumbo Limbo Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital opening this fall.
No word yet on how much money was raised through our Coldstone Creamery fundraisers on June 9th, July 1st or July 12th. The money from these events will go to help support Marine Conservation and Education at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution.
The turtle walk on June 12th was a bust. The educational talks were wonderful and the Gumbo Limbo staff was thrilled to receive our $500 donation, however, there were no nesting turtles that night or a hatchling release. For those who wish to attend the rain check event to release hatchlings, contact Christie at cgonza48@fau.edu asap.
Coming up this fall, the Palm Beach Veterinary Society is opening up their meetings to PVMA members. A total of three students per meeting are invited to attend the dinner buffet and hear featured lectures in various fields of veterinary medicine. Meetings are the first Thursday of every month 6 - 8 PM. To sign up for a meeting, contact Alyssa at aepsino8@fau.edu.
Look for our next issue of the Vetward Bound newsletter after July 30th and be sure to visit our website regularly to keep track of upcoming events.
Enjoy your summer everyone!! We'll see you again in September.
