Celebrating with Dryhootch

Dryhootch.org was celebrating its 5th anniversary today and Milwaukee Veterans Acupuncture was there.

 

We were glad to see familiar faces.  Heather was preparing the brats and burgers on a the grill out back. Jeff (Dryhootch TwitterMaster) and his friend Liz were busy helping out inside.

We met a few new friends too.  Ruth from Vitas Hospice Service was baking fresh chocolate cookies for everyone.

And a certain friendly pooch was happy to be a part of the meet-n-greet.

We were glad to be part of the day.
