Tails of Joy operates on a July to June year and at the June meeting the membership elects a seven member board of directors for the coming year. This year’s election will be held at our June 1 meeting at 7 p.m. sharp.

Animal Communication, Back by Popular Demand!

If you have ever wondered what your pet partner wants to say to you, then this could be the perfect opportunity to find out! Based on the success of this event last year, the Tails of Joy Board has decided to once again offer an opportunity to educate its members on the Art of Animal Communication and to provide an opportunity for individual animal communication sessions.

Animal Communicator Suzy Graf (www.jasmineplane.com) will be our guest for the evening. Suzy Graf holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science from the University of Connecticut. She is an author of two books, is currently a NSAC Licentiate Minister and Commissioned Spiritualist Healer. She is a USUI Reiki Master/Teacher. Suzy Graf will do a presentation to our group and then meet individually with several pet partner teams to provide animal communication. These individual readings will be provided to members, free of charge, compliments of Tails of Joy. Members will be chosen through a drawing at the beginning of the meeting.

Meetings are held monthly, except January and during the summer, usually on the first Saturday of the month. Holiday weekends may alter the schedule. Guests are welcome.

Membership Levels

All memberships are from July 1 to June 30th. Membership dues for members joining between January 1 and June 30 are one-half of the yearly dues.

Becoming actively involved does not require that you have a purebred companion animal or an animal of a specific size. We try not to place any time constraints on our members and ask only that you spend a couple of hours each month providing AAA / AAT.

Membership Application in PDF format

Registration Evaluations are offered several times a year.

Please contact Beth Hajek for current evaluation schedule.

Almost any type of animal can provide AAA / AAT when trained properly. Each evaluating program has their own requirements and restrictions. TOJ evaluators conduct evaluations for dogs, cats and rabbits.
