     This is a newsletter chocked full of shout-outs to people and groups who helped us in a big way recently.  We first want to thank Helicity Montgomery & the Montgomery Street Fair, Carriage Hills Animal Hospital and The Predator’s Motorcycle Association for inviting us to join in the fun of the 2nd Annual Montgomery Street Fair earlier this month.  We enjoyed visiting with lots of pet loving people so that more people know about our shelter and greatly appreciate the Predator’s for joining the fun and raising some money for our critters!   

LAKE MARTIN, AL (WSFA)- If you're headed to the lake anytime soon...beware.

Where you take your boat and how you drive it could mean the difference between life and death.

A new campaign encourages drivers to watch their wake.

"It's very dangerous because the fact they don't know the damage that their wake can cause," says Lake Martin resident, Larry Tuggle.

The Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA) took demonstrated what happens when a boat passes through a quaint cove at warp speed.

The wake sends water slamming into the dock, nearby boats, and even the shoreline.

"We probably get more calls, more complaints about it than anything else," says John Thompson, President of LMRA.

Strong wakes are not only damaging to private property but they're a public safety issue, too.
