This and all that

I'm an animal lover - I am appalled by factory farming practices. It would be fantastic if everyone could be a vegetarian, but I know that is not likely to happen. So I am encouraged to see more and more alternatives to factory-farmed meat, milk and cheeses available to consumers. I encourage people to ask questions about how their food is raised. Voting with your dollars sends a powerful message to businesses.

VIPP.ORG

I started volunteering in 2002 for Vashon Island Pet Protectors - a no kill shelter for cats and dogs  on Vashon.  Along with being the webmaster of VIPP.oRG, I serve on the Board of Directors, and as the President of the organization. I coordinate the FurBall Auction, VIPP’s biggest fundraiser of the year. It is so rewarding to work with animals and the people who love them. I’ve discovered that I love governance, a bit of a surprise to me.

Here’s the 2025 video that we made for the auction.
