Pictured, from left, are Sharon Padilla, Paws and Stripes administrative assistant;  Belen Pilot Club President Marlene Sanders; Pilot Club members Dolores Padilla, Kathleen Hill and new Paws and Stripes volunteer, Judith Vinyard.

The Pilot Club of Belen almost has enough money to buy the first specially trained service dog for one disabled Valencia County veteran, and has applied to the International Pilot Club for a matching grant.
