2007 SAYULITA SPAY & NEUTER CLINIC

November 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9, 2007

Dear Friends, 

Patas Sayulita appreciates your help *

In November 2007 Patas Sayulita Clinic will again provide a community service for the animals of Sayulita.

The past Clinic ran for 5 days and its success indicates the need and growing interest of the community for controlling animal numbers and ensuring good health for our  pets and the abandoned animals.

Due to the enormous success and the local demand for the service, the clinic will again operate this November 2007.

To operate the upcoming clinic for 4 days, along with the voluntary help and in kind support, the Sayulita community needs founds. Work is being done to raise money, and now we have a Lloyd bank account number 252613-5.  The account is under the name of Maria Guadalupe Viteri (Patas Sayulita), where you can send your donations in Mexico. If you are in the USA you can contact Angelica Wurth in Texas USA to organise your money donation, you may contact Angelica on (713) 688-6472 or by email AWurth@apqc.org

Current plans are to operate the clinic also in March 2008 but our intention is to establish the clinic here permanently in time. On-going funding and permanent establishment items will be needed to support this vision. We fortunately have a vet who has expressed an interest in taking up this position.

We wish to acknowledge that this project would not be possible without the support from the Antonio Haghenbeck y de la Lama Foundation and the many volunteers who enable the clinic to operate.

We look forward to your support of this project – any donation large or small is greatly appreciated – since much work is needed to enable this project to work.

Should you have any further queries please feel free to contact me on (52) 329 291 3050, or email me at upiviteri@prodigy.net.mx   or fern2@gmail.com
