On September 10, 2012 the dog-world lost a
great friend when artist, sculptor, jewelry designer and painter Virginia Perry Gardiner passed away.
In recognition of her numerous contributions
and donations to the ASSA over the years, the ASSA Foundation has made a $250
donation in her memory to the North Kingstown, RI Fire Department, as
requested by her family.
Additionally, a
memorial ad will be placed in the 2013 ASSA National Catalog.
