Several readers have pointed out a glaring error in our previous issues . We have been spelling Los Cris with an h ! The only explanation for this is that the editor is an ignoramus !
Nevertheless , supporters have appreciated hearing about what we are up to . “ Where Does All The Money Go ” is the most popular feature as it brings home what all the effort actually achieves for the animals .
People outside the organization are also getting to know us as copies of LA NEWS are passed round .
If anybody would like to get involved in our efforts to help the suffering and abandoned animals of Tenerife , please email Sue , our new president , on Sue @ livearico . org

A . G . M .
The Live Arico PAWS A . G . M . was held on Wednesday , 20th March at Bar 39 in Los Cris .
Siobhan issued the 2013 Annual Report , a copy of which is available for every member .
The first item was the accounts which were agreed . Sue and Siobahn had compiled a large folder containing each and every receipt so that all present could inspect the raw data as well as the figures presented .
Credit is due for all the hard work that went into such a competent and professional production .
The next item was the election of the new committee and the results were as follows : President , Sue Havenhand . Vice President , Kerry Railton . Treasurer , Siobhan Ferguson . Secretary , Eugenio Da
Mommio . Events Manager , Sharon Edens . Vocal Members : Michaela Bridges and Steve Sands .
Other Business included a discussion on increased collaboration with other organizations , fund-raising ideas and managing the collection boxes .
Sue gave an update on adoptions and the status of animals currently under veterinary care .
Firstly , credit is due to Sue and Siobhan for running LA PAWS in the interim period .
They ensured the continuation of the organization with one priority — to guarantee the dogs were fed while awaiting the move to the new refuge . Then for as long as the dogs remained our responsibility .
How easy it would have been for them to give up , but they refused to abandon the animals . For if no one fed them , they would surely have had to be put down .
Well , they couldn ’ t let that happen and so LA PAWS was born . Now that the immediate danger has been averted , they are able to focus on moving the organization forward .
With the new committee in place , LA PAWS is poised to advance the animal welfare cause in Tenerife .
LA NEWS welcomes the new team on behalf of all our members and supporters . Good luck to them in their roles and thanks for taking on the difficult task .
What a big responsibility ! All those unfortunate animals depending on them for help .
We are sure , that like Sue and Siobhan before them , the new team will never let the dogs down .
