Wags on TV

As I watched the piece they did on Frederick 360, I was reminded once again how important Charlie is to me (and a few other folks too).  I will always have this video of him to cherish, seeing him “in action” bringing comfort to people.  The piece didn’t mention our efforts with R.E.A.D., nor did it show our website.  I guess I can’t be too disappointed, because it gave us great exposure and hopefully will gain us more good will in the community and some new recruits.  I was a little uncomfortable with the fact that I was in it so much – it was hard to get the sense of how many others are involved and what they all do for the organization.  Since the onset I have done none of this alone – many people put in a lot of effort to get us started (a few of whom are no longer with us).  Becoming a corporation and achieving non-profit status is no simple task, but with the people we had, we got it done the first time.  There are so many people who have taken ownership of Wags for Hope and we are all so blessed and humbled to have them.  We have several committees each run by a different person who is dedicated to bettering our group in one way or another.  We have a self-appointed ambassador who is making it her goal to get us spread out further into Washington County, and another who is doing the same thing in West Virginia.  We have a lady who has the thankless job of managing the paperwork for the entire organization.  She also helps on the Training and Education Committee.  She used to visit with her dog but sadly her pet passed away.  She never gets the “glory” but is always there we we need her.  My point is that there are so many people that make Wags for Hope what it is, and that is a WONDERFUL group of people who do some very wonderful things.  Check them out at this link, and make sure to click on the Teams to see who else is involved.
