Newsletter features dog rescue, fundraisers for Ansonia PD, Hoptoberfest


Dear readers,

Today's Valley Voice newsletter features a touching story penned by my sister-in-law, Ralph's sister Michele Nelson. 
She recently rescued a sweet dog, Odette, that had been living in a horrific hoarding situation in Oklahoma.

We also preview several fundraisers in the Valley.

Thanks for reading,

Patti
