President’s Message
Hello Pinellas Colleagues,
Happy April everyone! I hope your staff doesn’t play any mean April Fools jokes on you. April is a busy month for PCVMA with the FVMA Annual Conference and the 1st annual Pisha Poo’s Pickleball and Country Music Pet Fest. If you aren’t going to the conference, please come join us for this great event. If you aren’t able to attend, please encourage your staff and clients to attend or donate to this great cause. I look forward to seeing you there! Keep making Pinellas County Veterinary Medical Association great!
