Guests were able to enjoy a sit-down dinner from Quotations expansive menu, enjoy a large selection of microbrews or a cocktail at the bar. “Dozens of people came here to support ARF,” says ARF volunteer Theresa Impriano. “Every person can make a difference.” Each patron that mentioned “ARF” had a percentage of their check donated to the organization. Quotations has hosted a number of events to benefit organizations in the community. According to owner Mike Burke, “Instead of spending a large amount of money on advertising, we’d rather use our resources to benefit groups that make a difference right here in the area.” ARF rescues pets from public shelters that must euthanize when full. Pet receive complete veterinary care, including spay/neuter, and live with a foster family until adopted.
