President’s Message
Hello Pinellas Colleagues,
I hope everyone had a great time at the Bowser Ball, I know I did! Fun was had, silent auctions were
won, and money was raised for a good cause. The wine toss raised over $1,200 for hurricane relief.
If you have a non-DVM team member that was impacted by the hurricanes, lives or works in Pinellas County, and would like to be considered for PCVMA/PAF assistance, please have them email Dr. Morgan (donmorgansr@aol.com) BY NOVEMBER 13th. We hope you are continuing to get back to normal after the hurricanes. If PCVMA can assist you, please reach out for help. I hope to see everyone at
Our upcoming meeting at Bascom’s on November 18th. If I don’t see you, I hope you have a great Thanks\giving. Gratitude is so important. I hope you get a chance this month to reflect on the many
Blessings in your life. Thanks PCVMA for being one of my Blessings!
Julie, Mosher, DVM
