**VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT**

Today we are showcasing our Board Secretary, Hanna. If you've attended either of our big, annual fundraisers over the years, chances are you've interacted with Hanna to purchase CCAA merchandise, activity tickets, raffle or bourbon tickets, or for a fun conversation. Hanna has spent nearly two decades working in the public sector and currently works for the city of Cincinnati. His passions lie in animal rescue and reading. He regularly reads over 100 books annually!

Thank you for your time, dedication, and care, Hanna. We are so thankful for you ❤️.

Mac! Mac is finally in for the task training portion of his program. He experienced a lovely balance of work and play with CCAA Pilot Dog, Phoenix! Today's focus was on selling and developing "touch" command.

Our CCAA Board President's kiddo was under the impression that Pups and Pumpkins was a celebration of Phoenix's birthday, so our volunteer, Cindy leaned in! After the crowds had left, the cars were loaded, and the park was cleaned, a few people stayed behind to sing to him and enjoy some cake. It's moments like these that truly make CCAA such a wonderful family.
