Yesterday was a perfect day for joining with Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital in Indian Harbour Beach and introducing M.A.R.S. members to the public and the staff of Aloha.

Joining us was our volunteer helpers Kim and Aly Donovan. Kim was inspired to call members of her class to come see us and support the birds.

Linda Pepin (pictured above), is an amazing person and friend to M.A.R.S. Her time shared with our feathered members is invaluable. Her husband Dr. Jose Pepin is a co-founder of the Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital and one of the veterinarians at the clinic.

Thanks to all who came to see us!
