To the Editor:

Dixie would have been so proud of the hugely successful benefit held for the Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and dedicated to her. Dixie was a sweet dachshund adopted from the shelter whose legacy is helping other homeless animals.

Thanks to the hospitality of the Captain’s Inn in Forked River, the dining room was filled to capacity with generous supporters, delicious food, great music and an endless selection of outstanding auction gifts and prizes.
