Way to go, Nahalie!
Nahalie Stidhem
collected approximately $400 worth
of donations for the
local animal shelter.
Thanks to Strutty's
Feed and Pet Supply
in Bulverde and
community
supporters. A tour
was given by Ms.
Floyd, and she
explained how the
donation would be used. They have a large number of
animals and could use more donations, so please
consider donating to your area animal shelter.
