Snuffy Himself

Friends of Snuffy, Inc. is a New York State 501c3 charitable organization and is an all volunteer group.

Founded in 2006 by Mary Gormley in memory of her beloved dog "Snuffy", Friends of Snuffy started out as a grassroots organization that helps to keep shelters empty by providing an outreach program that includes education programs, grants and direct funding.  We have helped to rebuild a local dog shelter, as well as a dog run, and built an exercise yard for pet training and agility courses run by Training Wheels, which is a community outreach program that helps pet owners train their animals.

Friends Of Snuffy's current focus is a Pet Food Pantry Program designed to help people feed their pets in these hard economic times.

Please join us at the Posie Kviat Gallery in Hudson, NY, Saturday May 8 for the Gallery Exhibition "Nourishment": Paintings and Sculptures by Lynn Gitter and Fundraising Event for Friends of Snuffy, Pet Food Pantry.

When:
May 8, 2010
3-8 PM
Gallery show running May 8-16.

Why:
People love their pets and their pets are part of their family. Maybe their only family. Hard economic times put people in difficult situations when they are faced with the choice of not being able to feed their pets or giving them up. Lynn Gitter is graciously donating a major part of her body of artwork in order to raise funds for Friends of Snuffy, a charitable organization which helps to keep pets in their homes by helping provide pet food to those who otherwise could not continue to afford to feed their pets. The purchaser gets a tax deductible receipt for the preset percentage that goes to Friends of Snuffy, and gets to go home with a beautiful piece of art. There are paintings of various sizes, sculptures, and necklaces.

Cost:
The event is free and open to the public. At this gallery exhibition opening event, there will be art, music, refreshments, and other entertainment.

Many thanks to Lynn Gitter, Alexander Turnquist, and our other participating artists, John Eric Byers, Ric Dragon, Zoya Geacintov, Kira Greene, Pat Horner, Jeff Leonard, Sally Rothchild, Anique Taylor as well as all contributors and volunteers for the event.
