These fantastic organizations co-host a fundraising event they describe as a “poker run-style dog walk.” At least until our CreateAthoners looked over the list of activities and deemed the description lacking. It’s an entire afternoon of dog party! A dog fest! A day where dog is king! And Poochapalooza was born.

Work included identity, two custom illustrated posters (Lauren Bowles) an event website, and a promotional lawn sign.

The Heartworm Project is a volunteer nonprofit organization that provides medical care for shelter animals in need. The Heartworm Project’s original goal was to treat heartworm positive dogs at local shelters who were scheduled to be euthanized because of their illness. But they’ve expanded their mission to include any medical attention that shelters cannot provide to dogs and cats of all ages.

PAALS (Palmetto Animal Assisted Life Services) is a nonprofit organization that serves the community by training assistance animals to help individuals with disabilities other than blindness or deafness. The animals assist with educational and recreational activities for those with social needs and certain physical disabilities.

Over the past few months, we’ve poured sweat and tears into the latest edition of Rzine, Flotsam & Jetsam: Language of Great Consequence in the Law of Admiralty and Marine Salvage…and Everywhere Else (Nate Poole). To put it simply, trash to treasure. In this issue, we explore the inherent value to be discovered in previously unwanted goods, found objects, and junk from everyday life. We are excited to share Flotsam & Jetsam with you and hope you will be inspired to salvage something and share your story with us. Ahoy!
