Cocktails** and hors d'oeuvres witll be begin at 5:00pm with dinner to follow.
Our guest speaker for the evening will be Dr. Cindy Buckmaster. Dr. Buckmaster will be speaking on behalf of Homes for Animal Heroes and their goal of helping research institutions to honor their stars! 
Homes for Animal Heroes (HAH) is a rehoming network that research institutions can trust completely. HAH will have the capacity to foster, train and place more research dogs, annually, than all of the existing groups combined. And this network will provide us with the first ever nationwide platform for engaging the public in truthful discussions about our work and their demands for it! We will talk about how we care for our dogs and what they help us learn for human and animal well-being, and we will answer their questions openly and honestly. It’s time for us to partner with other loving Americans who are grateful to our animal heroes for all they have given us. And it’s past time for us to take back the conversation and engage the public in loving solutions, rather than harmful arguments. It’s time for all of us to show our gratitude; share our love; and support our heroes!
**Guests will be offered drink tickets and a cash bar with wine and beer options will also be available.
