I hope that your 2018 has been off to a wonderful start. I can say that it’s been great for Friends of MADACC! We have already had some pretty epic events like the 15
th
Annual Great Lakes Pet Expo at State Fair Park in February and the 4
th
Annual Pints for Pups Street Festival Event at Camp Bar in Wauwatosa in March. Both would not have been successful without your active participation volunteering, attending, and supporting our mission. I speak for our entire board of directors when I say that we are so grateful for each and every one of you and are looking forward to seeing what the rest of 2018 brings.
Sincerely,
Amila Rizvic
Friends of MADACC Board President
