Diana Kliche of Fix Long Beach brought some four-legged friends along when she spoke at the Rossmoor Woman’s Club’s luncheon meeting on Valentine’s Day. The non-profit animal rescue and welfare organization shows the love to dogs and cats by offering low-cost spay/neuter services to reduce the number of animals who may end up abandoned or abused. They also offer other veterinary services such as vaccinations, bloodwork and dental exams at their clinic in Long Beach.

Accompanying Kliche were dogs and human representatives from Sparky and the Gang, a dog rescue and adoption non-profit.

The RWC thanked Kliche with a contribution of $600 in cash, around 50 dog sweaters and jackets handmade by members to keep pooches warm during brisk weather, and some donated blankets, rugs and towels. For more information, go online to www.fixlongbeachpets.com and to www.sparkyandthegang.com

The Rossmoor Woman’s Club, a non-profit social and charitable organization, was founded in 1958, and ever since then, members — who come from all over Orange and and parts of Los Angeles counties — have been working to improve the quality of life for people in the community. The club, part of the international General Federation of Women’s clubs, provides financial support, volunteer hours and in-kind donations throughout Rossmoor, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Long Beach and surrounding areas.
