Can you believe the 2009-2010 DC Academy year is already over? This year was a great success, thanks to all of you! The speakers this year were fantastic, the subjects relevant and timely. Attendance was solid, and membership held steady. The Lunch & Learn seminars, which we continued this year, were received even more enthusiastically than anticipated. The legacy of this year, though, is sure to be the “Greening of the Academy.” This is a very progressive move for our group and is something that I’m so happy to have been a part of instituting! Thank you all so much for the opportunity that you afforded me to be the leader of this esteemed group of people. I’m honored that you entrusted me with this responsibility. I hope you all are looking forward to a summer full of family and fun, as I am. Stay safe in your travels, work hard, play hard, and come back next year ready to learn. Continued success to you all.

Dr. James Spencer, former owner of Ballston Animal Hospital, passed away earlier this month. Dr. Spencer graduated from Michigan State University in 1976 and joined the DC Academy in 1980. At this time we do not have any information about memorial services. Memorials are suggested to the String of Pearls Animal Rescue of Strasburg, Virginia. Please subscribe to our listserv to get this information when it becomes available.
We have the capability to send the notes and newsletters to you by email prior to the seminar. To better serve the DCAVM membership, we have established an e-mail group on Yahoo Groups in order to distribute lecture notes (in Word or PDF attachments), administrative announcements, and other official news. This will be a read-only list, thus it will not clog your inbox with spam or chatter.
If you would like to join this group, please send an e-mail to
If you do not wish to receive the notes and newsletter by email, you may review, print and download them from the Academy website. To access the notes, simply click on Member Services and proceed as directed. You will need to know your membership number to access the notes archives.
The best way to have your help wanted and other notices posted on our bulletin board and website is to send the information to us by email in advance of the meeting. We can format the notice for both posting sites. Also, notices that are sent to us by email will be posted by 8:00 am the morning of the meeting. Please send your notices to admin@dcavm.org.
