You’ve been really the ones that have won these scholarships because it’s everything that you have done and we hope it’s a little boost to you to continue to do what you’re doing, because it’s a validation that what you’re doing is right,” he said. We look forward to you being future leaders within the Federation and beyond and we even have a few future veterinarians within this group as well, so that sounds good. So we will see you in this venue again in a couple of years’ time.”
