Woodbury, NY--Over 200 people attended Pet Peeves

Janine Dion, Director of Sales & Marketing
at the Crest Hollow Country Club, who founded this 501 (c)

successful event, despite the Yankees playoff game being televised
that same evening!" said Dion.
A highlight of the evening was the unveiling
of the Pet Peeves Critter Calendar and holiday cards, which
are on sale now.
"A very special thank you to all of our
sponsors including Roslyn Savings Foundation, Pet Pantry and
