life, as we ourselves would wish to be treated. It is the key to a
better world for all of us. Through the generous hearts and hands
of people like you, we are helping build a future that will be rooted
in kindness and caring.

| IN MEMORIAM Jerry Aubin Charter Member Treasurer & Financial Advisor - SCHS "LOVED BY MANY - RESPECTED BY ALL" |
Jerry's passing in 2005 was a tremendous loss, not only for his family and
friends, but also for Desert Haven. He was instrumental is purchasing the
property for the sanctuary and in getting the no-kill animal refuge off the
ground. The memory of his love and concern for others will live on forever in
the hearts and minds of those who knew him. He left the world a little
better because he was in it.
