Nate Sussman's Mitzvah Project

Hi,

My name is Nate Sussman. I will be celebrating my Bar-Mitzvah on April 8th. For my Mitzvah project I picked something very special to me, saving animals from euthanasia.

I have always loved animals and have wanted a dog for as long as I can remember. Last year my Mom finally said "yes". I was so excited! I knew I wanted a rescue dog. I adopted my dog and my best friend, Laz, from S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue.

Laz has been there to cheer me up during my sad times. He plays fetch, sleeps in my room, and keeps me company when I'm watching TV or doing homework. He just makes everything better. I am so happy to have him in my life.

I am excited about giving back to the place that gave me so much. I am collecting pet store gift cards, dog food, toys, blankets, towels, and dog treats. S.A.F.E needs all these items to care for all the dogs until they are lucky enough to be adopted into a loving home.

Thank you for helping me make a difference in these dogs lives while they wait to be adopted, (maybe by you!)  I am looking forward to delivering all the donations and seeing their wagging tails.

Many Thanks,

Nate Sussman

WINE & CHEESE SOCIAL 
FILM VIEWING OF "REMEMBER" 
 
"Remember" is the contemporary story of Zev (Christopher Plummer), who discovers that the Nazi guard who murdered his family some 70 years ago is living in America under an assumed identity. Despite his dementia, with the aid of a fellow Auschwitz survivor at their New York nursing home, Max (Martin Landau), who gives him a hand written letter with addresses of four possibilities living under an assumed name to remind him of his mission, Zev sets out on to deliver long-delayed justice with his own trembling hand. What follows is a remarkable cross-continent road-trip with surprising consequences.

This event is free and open to the community; however donations are gratefully appreciated. For more information, contact Gail Greenfield at gailsgreenfield@hotmail.com or call 904-534-7381.
