The Christian Veterinary Fellowship (CVF) has been a club at the College of Veterinary Medicine for several years. The club meets during lunch every Thursday for fellowship and to enjoy lunch together, and has a dinner and Bible study on Friday nights. The club has been trying some new things this year. They held their first Rest and Relaxation Session during a lunch hour that provided a chance for busy faculty and students to de-stress with tea, snacks, and relaxing music. CVF has also built connections with an organization called Christian Veterinary Missions that has short- and long-term missionaries in North America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. They have several club members that participated in a mission trip to Hooper Bay, Alaska in September that involved providing basic veterinary care to cats and dogs as well as visiting with school children and families in the small fishing village. Club members are again planning to travel to Hooper Bay this September, and perhaps also to Uganda this summer to work with long-term missionary and CVM alumna, Dr. Val 
Shean. If you are interested in joining the club, contact Matthew Evans (evansmat@onid.orst.edu) or Katie Anthony (anthonka@onid.orst.edu) or find them selling breakfast and coffee Wednesday mornings raising funds for their mission trips!
