ALL EARS: Coastal Cat Rescue turned a year old and celebrated with a concert by The Pitfalls band in the back yard of one the organization’s board members. The event was filled with fun, love, good food, good people and outstanding music – and a common costume of cat ears! Shown are Caroline Coumounduros, John Pensallorto, Alan Mckenzie, Pete Coumounduros, Ellen Whitney, Amy Coumounduros, Karen McGrath, Robin Piselli, and Robin Powell, as well as Anne Walsh, whose light-up shades added a ‘light’ touch to her ensemble.
