Special Needs Dobermans (SND) - Milestones!
November 19 , 2021 - We have received the final distribution of a bequest made by Rebecca Palandjian. Please read more about Rebecca here:
Rebecca
Palandjian
Rest In Peace
October 21, 1926 - December 31, 2007
Rebecca
was one of the earliest members of our SND Café in the early 2000’s.
She was an older lady who wasn’t much on the advent of the pc generation
but she managed to join the café and contribute her thoughts and some
very generous donations as well. Occasionally, she would have a pc mishap and
would reach out for help in fixing Windows issues . Dave, an SND founding member
along with Steve, was our tech-savvy man on the spot. He spent time with Rebecca
helping her fix her issues and in the end, she repeated more than once: “Dave
fixed my Windows!”
She always said, “When I die, I will take care of SND and what you do
for our Dobermans...” She did do this in fact. Upon her death in 2007,
she bequeathed a good part of her estate to SND. Just over 10 years later and
costs during probate,a final distribution was made in 2021. That short period
ending up being 4 years long. But in late November, the final distribution was
made.
We are all so very grateful as will be the Rescues and Dobermans she will help
with this very generous gesture. Rest in Peace Rebecca, your wishes have been
and will continue to benefit the Dobermans you so loved in your life.
