Hey, All-

As most of you know, I’m preparing for a six-month sabbatical. (Unpaid, mind you.) I’ve been involved with RMAD since day one. And after a decade of service, I’m taking time away to retool and refresh.

We have created a program committee (of RMAD regulars) to manage the organization’s program activities in my absence. And we have hired Donna Marino to help out (part time) with the administrative side of the organization.

My sabbatical begins August 1.

In the meantime, we’re busy with transitions, processes, programs and projects. I continue to be inspired by how big this little organization is. So many of you volunteer your time and talents to helping the animals and helping the world through Rocky Mountain Animal Defense. And so many of you make the financial contributions that allow a few of us to work hard every day to keep this organization functioning at a high level.

My sincere gratitude to you all.

Chris and Donna and I will implement the new once-a-week update starting Wednesday of next week.

Have a dandy weekend.

Love ya,
Dave
