Fabulous interview. Thank you JC.
Thank you, BobRivard and the podcast Big City Small Town, for inviting me to share about the Rotary Club San Antonio and the incredible front-line humanitarian aid it provides the people of Ukraine amidst the brutal ongoing war against Russia.

One of our clients, Guide Dogs of Texas, is hiring! In a few short months, I have learned how transformational this organization is to the individuals matched with their amazing guide dogs—it's impressive how brilliant they are and how they use "intelligent disobedience" to keep their people safe. Know anyone who might be interested?
With the generosity of the Delaney Foundation, we have met our stretch goal but that has put us on the path to the "even more stretch goal!" You can join in a fantastic opportunity of changing the lives of Texans living with blindness or low vision by making a donation during the Big Give, which ends today at 6pm. https://lnkd.in/g-GDbtqK

Join the giving on September 18-19 at https://lnkd.in/g-GDbtqK and search for Guide Dogs of Texas.

We’re so excited to be a part of The Big Give! You can support our campaign by visiting https://lnkd.in/g-GDbtqK and donating on September 18-19. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, ask your friends for a reminder because you won't want to miss out on this amazing opportunity to help more people like Carley pictured below. Carley was matched with Oscar in October of last year and since that time she has made regular outings to some of her favorite places including a community center and church. She enjoys the enhanced independence and mobility Oscar has helped bring to her life by being more confident at maneuvering intersections and traffic. She and Oscar even recently participated in the community theater play together. Talk about freedom!

We were thrilled to have Girls on the Run of Bexar County out to our site for a visit and some puppy time!
Did you get to pet puppies at work today? Because I did! 🐾 Our Girls on the Run of Bexar County staff went for a site visit to Guide Dogs Of Texas to tour the space and learn more about their program. I got to meet Piper (below), Hank, Rio, Trudy, and so many other amazing puppies who will go on to support their owners in the future. Did you know you can even have the puppies visit your office as part of training? I love learning about the work happening with organizations in our city. How many times can I say puppies in a LinkedIn post? lol :) Thank you Amy Roberts for the invitation!
Did you catch Guide Dogs of Texas on KENS 5 Saturday Morning? CEO, Patrick Glines and 13-month-old Argo, a Guide Dog in Training, talked with Vanessa Croix and Maggie Laughlin about the origin of his passion for Guide Dogs and how the community can get involved with Guide Dogs of Texas. You won't want to miss this interview! Thank you Argo Group for your support in sponsoring this amazing pup! We are excited about the progress he is making and can't wait to see him continue on his training journey! #GuideDogs #CommunitySupport #TexasServingTexans https://lnkd.in/gS9U39WN
🏆 And Hank takes the lead - fueled by support! 🏁 For a while, Rio held the top spot, but thanks to your incredible donations, Hank has surged ahead. 🐾 Will he be the first Advanced Training dog to reach and exceed their fundraising goal of $2,500? Your contributions are not just numbers; they directly contribute to our guide dog training program, ensuring these remarkable dogs receive the extensive care they need — from training and specialized equipment to veterinary care and nutrition — to become dependable guides for our clients. Our target is to raise a minimum of $2,500 for each dog in training. Each donation, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in our mission to provide well-trained guide dogs to those in need across Texas. 🐶💙 Let's continue to support Hank and his peers on their journey to make a life-changing difference!
