"Success is the completion of anything intended". 
 
If this is true, NJAFA has proven their success for its second straight year.  We have "intended" to do more, but the projects we have completed: fundraisers;  placing animals (none have come back or been returned); spaying and neutering a couple hundred animals; helping dozens of animals who were suffering in Camden City, NJ who needed vet care; conceived of new promotions and fundraisers and ended our year in the black instead of the red we are very proud of that. As this year draws to a close, we want to thank all those individuals who gave of their time and effort  to help us be the success we were. 2008 promises to be bigger and better than before with new partnerships, old partnerships, a joint project with another group, new advisory board members, a new promotional campaign, old and new fundraisers, more spay days with a vet who is donating her time  and exciting surprises (including a new "addition" to our group)....click here for details!
