President’s Message
Hello Pinellas Colleagues,
Happy New Year PCVMA! 2025 is going to be a great year for our organization. Let’s pause and reflect on some of the great accomplishments we had in 2024. We hosted a fundraiser for staff affected by the hurricane and were able to monetarily help 3 technicians in our area. We also had a great time at the Bowser and Catsino Ball where we gave out numerous scholarships to local students. Our pet counselor and pet professors have been busier than ever, helping clients and students across the county! We hosted a noteworthy fundraiser for the FVMA PAC. We learned some new things at Bascom’s and strengthened relationships. I’ve had a great year with you, PCVMA, and I can’t wait to see what our future holds.
