| Dear John, Been busy with the holidays? I hear you! And here we are on the brink of 2024 with all of the hope that brings. Here is my wish: I hope that you will stick with AAVS and the animals’ cause in the coming year because we have a lot to do. But here’s the thing: You can celebrate the New Year tomorrow, but you can’t get a 2023 tax deduction unless you make your AAVS donation before midnight tonight. Will you help me ring in the New Year with a gift to AAVS? Let’s do something wonderful for animals in labs in 2024. Thank you and best wishes for a Happy New Year! Sincerely,  |
