There are many wonderful ways to volunteer with the Jewish Pavilion and Bethanne Weiss has done almost all of them. She has chaired events, assisted with Orlando Senior Help Desk callers, helped with set up for events, sold raffle tickets, participated in holiday festivities, and much more.

One of her favorite volunteer activities is to share her dog, Butch, with the seniors. Weiss brought Butch to Oakmonte Village where the seniors enjoyed all their antics but especially enjoyed watching Weiss brush Butch's teeth while he lay there placidly. Butch's number one fans were Paula and Phyllis, shown here admiring him.

"If you know anybody who wants an amazing program that we're calling 'Adventures with Butch: Up close and personal with a retired racing Greyhound,' keep me posted," said Weiss. "It's a free program and so far, everyone loves, loves, loves it!"
