Terry Sabens, Pet Coordinator for the Blue Star Mothers of VT, will speak at Essex Rotary and present the latest veteran with a new service dog. A Blue Star Mother has had a son or daughter who is has served in the Armed Forces.
The Blue Star Mothers Pet Program helps veterans gain access to service dog companions who help them deal with the stress of life after military service.
Recently, Essex Rotary has focused on supporting the "Pet Program" of the Blue Star Mothers of Vermont, an initiative that helps train service dogs for area veterans. We will hear about the training program - and from a veteran who has just received his dog. https://bluestarmothersofvermont.org/pet-program/
Funding the pairing and training of a veteran and a service dog is the largest charitable initiative of Essex Rotary, except for our scholarship program
