      Whiskers For Whiskey Raises Money For Shelter Animals




         Dozens of Humane Society of the Treasure Coast supporters
      gathered for the second annual Whiskers for Whiskey tasting at
      The Chef’s Table in Stuart. They came together for an evening
      of savory plates and distinctive spirits, all for a worthy cause.
      The event raised more than $4,700 for the shelter pets, and
      one special guest won dinner for two at The Chef’s Table with
      a bottle of Michter’s whiskey.
         “Following last year’s inaugural success, it soon became
      evident that this unique fundraiser would become the shelter’s
      newest signature event, and its return was met with great
      anticipation this fall,” said Courtney Zanetti, the humane
      society’s community outreach director.
