Ron Manor Memorial Rescue Picnic – August 17, 2024

On August 1, 2024, we lost a giant of rescue, Ron Manor. Among Ron and Kathy Manor’s many contributions to Northwest Samoyed Rescue over the course of 23 years was to host the annual Samoyed rescue picnic at their home near Centralia, Washington. It was a great opportunity for the Samoyed rescue community to gather and see the success stories in person, a collective impact made evident by the group photo taken midway through the picnic.

In recent years, health challenges personally and the COVID pandemic more broadly conspired to take the picnic off the calendar. Ron’s family thought there would be no better way to celebrate his life than to gather rescued Samoyeds and their people together for one last “arooo” at Ron and Kathy’s, scheduled for Saturday, August 17th from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. The big group photo will be taken around 3:00pm.

Whether you knew Ron personally, or just know the effect of his work and dedication (which if you’ve adopted a Samoyed from Northwest Samoyed Rescue in the last 23 years, you definitely do), please join us. To RSVP and get the specific address, contact us and we’ll respond promptly with the details.
