Diane Cangemi, Director of the Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce, presented a check for $350, part of the proceeds from the 1st Annual Dog Event, to Sharon Lane, Treasurer of AWARE! These funds will help support AWARE's ongoing spay/neuter programs. Because there are too many animals for the homes available, adoption is only a part of the solution. A larger part of the solution is to spay and neuter companion animals. AWARE’s spay/neuter programs have prevented the births of THOUSANDS of kittens and puppies to address the heart of the problem. Mark your calendars! The Chamber's 2nd Annual Dog Event will be held April 6, 2024. To view picture of presentation, go to
