The Rainbow Garden is sold out and 90% complete. The construction
of the wall is done and the tiles have been lasered. All we
are waiting for is some nice warm sunny days to put the tiles on the wall.
The date for our GRAND OPENING is August 23, 2008. Please see the
attached invitation and map for details. This will be a combination
Farewell
Party for the The Pet Loss Support Group and Rainbow Garden Grand Opening.
The Board of Directors would love to see everyone who has supported us
over the years and to have the opportunity to say Goodbye.
If you bought a tile, but have lost touch with us due to a move,
please contact Kate at 287-3675 so that we can update your address.
If you plan on coming to the opening please R.S.V.P. to Pat (information

Announcement
While there is always a need
for compassionate people in the pet industry to deal with pet loss we feel
that the time for our group has passed.
We are celebrating the fact
that vets, friends, co-workers and relatives are now stepping up to provide
the support that our group offered and that the internet also provides
a complete support system. We feel that it is a celebration
that our animal guardians have a wide variety of support systems in place
now.
We will conduct business as
usual until the end of the year. We will not be collecting membership
fees or donations, however, we will continue to sell our inventory of resource
materials and our telephone volunteers will be taking calls on the support
line.

PET LOSS SUPPORT GROUP WOULD LIKE TO INVITE
