Christmas You Missed

![]() Brittany Catton, PR and Development Director for ASYMCA called Mark Shaffer to request Bandit’s presence at the event since there would be a number of children in attendance. “I knew Bandit and I would enjoy being at the event,” Mark said. He quickly accepted the invitation on behalf of himself and Bandit. Then, a scant 4 weeks before the event, Bandit was rushed to the hospital where he had to have his right eye removed due to a quick-moving infection. ![]() ![]() “I’m so glad Bandit was up to it,“ Shaffer explained. “Not only did everyone at the event enjoy Bandit’s appearance, but I really think it made him feel good too. For Bandit, it meant he was able to go back to what he loves best: Being the little biker dog that brings smiles to the faces of kids.” Shaffer pointed out that this was the second annual event. Shaffer added,“Bandit and I both look forward to the day when our soldiers don’t have to spend Christmas in a war zone. But until then, it’s an honor for us to be part of “The Christmas You Missed.” To learn more about the San Diego Armed Services YMCA, click here: http://militaryymca.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 For photos of this event, click here: http://families.smugmug.com/gallery/5352050_VHP7e#327387778_cinhP
