A good pet sitter also spends quality time with the animal, gives him exercise and knows how to tell if he needs veterinary attention. What’s more, pet sitters typically offer additional services, such as taking in mail and newspapers and watering plants.

Golf Outing For Jerry Sipe

Today there was a golf outing for a local soldier named Jerry Sipe. The special thing about this golf outing was it was sponsored by the Florence Professional Firefighters, as Jerry is a member of this group of firefighters from Florence, Kentucky.

This golf outing was to raise money for Jerry and his unit while stationed in Afghanistan, and for Jerry’s family while they are home without him during his deployment. There were about 20 teams that competed in today’s golf outing at the Boone Links Golf Course in Burlington.

Many people were grateful for Jerry’s service and his wife Jetta and father Gary also attended today’s golf outing.

If you are interested in learning more about what the fundraiser was for, or making a donation to Jerry, his family or unit, please visit the link to the Florence Professional Firefighters.
