| July 12, 2010 | At the Second Annual Dr. Peter Poggi Memorial Golf Tournament, Attorney Jay Cantor announced that the DCSPCA received a bequest of over $950,000 from his client Katherine Phenix. With this gift from Katherine Phenix and her sisters, Bea and Dot Lamb, the DCSPCA reached its fundraising goal for the Adoption and Education Center. |
Thanks to dedicated friends like you, we are pleased to announce that the Dutchess County SPCA has reached its goal of $3,000,000 to build the new Adoption and Education Center. Your gift helped to make this possible. We, and the animals in our care, are deeply grateful to you.
This remarkable achievement for the animals means that we can complete the construction of the new Adoption and Education Center without taking on any debt. We hope to break ground late in the fall of this year and would expect to be able to occupy the building about one year later.
In fact, so remarkable was the generosity of donors that we can quickly move onto the next phase of our Master Site Plan to transform the existing shelter into an Animal Services Center. The aging building is structurally sound and will, when the work is done, serve the community as an intake facility for animals needing rescue and as a spay/neuter clinic for the public’s cats. We will continue our fund raising efforts with this new goal in mind.
