Dogs of Tuscany Calendar Raises Money for Summit

No, not that Tuscany! They are dogs who live in the Tuscany neighborhood in the Woodinville area, and the calendar was the brainstorm of five sixth graders who live in the neighborhood.
“My friends and I wanted to do something fun over the summer, so we thought of creating a dog calendar,” said Hannah Visse. She collaborated on the project with Cami Pawlak, Olivia Kaplan, Alli Porter and Katie Williamson.
“We went door to door and asked neighbors who owned dogs if they would like us to take a picture of their dogs to include in the calendar,”  Hannah said. “We easily found enough neighborhood dogs to fill up a calendar.”
The girls decided they wanted to sell the calendars for $20 each and raise money for an animal non-profit,
since they are all animal lovers. Hannah knew about Summit because her father, Bob Visse, is a donor, so
she proposed Summit as the recipient.
All five of them spent their weekends in November and December selling the calendars in their neighborhood.
They expect to raise about $400 for Summit by the time they have finished their calendar sales.
“Coming to watch graduation was very inspirational,” said Hannah, who attended the Dec. 6 event with
Cami and Olivia. “We loved seeing how the dogs are making people’s lives better.”
