The VIN Foundation, a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code, will be launching a Donation Site, so that you can help the organizations involved in the veterinary medical efforts. The VIN Foundation will make sure that 100 percent of your donation is forwarded to the relief group that you designate. (We're covering the credit card, programming, and transaction fees.) The Donation Site will be available shortly. VSPN - Community for Your Support Staff
Your support staff can interact with their colleagues on Veterinary Support Personnel Network. VSPN membership is FREE for people working with, for, or in the field of veterinary medicine. Encourage your staff to register with VSPN and attend the joint VIN/VSPN Rounds this Sunday.
