25A Magazine Celebrates March 2016 Cover Girl Jean Shafiroff at Sant Andrea Cafe
25A Magazine’s Publisher Chase Backer and Editor-In-Chief Christopher A. Page hosted a party to celebrate Philanthropist & Author of Successful Philanthropy: How To Make a Life by What You Give, Jean Shafiroff, on the cover of 25A Magazine’s March 2016 Issue. The invitation-only event was held at Sant Andrea Cafe on last Thursday.
Heydoyou blog was invited as press to attend this event.
Here is the photo of Jean Shafiroff and Lulu Qu.
At the soon-to-open upscale Venetian restaurant located just steps from Central Park, guests enjoyed a selection of Cocktails & Hor d’Oeuvres. The event also featured Shafiroff’s new book Successful Philanthropy: How To Make a Life by What You Give, a practical guide offering advice for modern giving that redefines philanthropy for today’s era.
Author Jean Shafiroff comments that, “Describing yourself as a philanthropist may seem odd at first. For some people, being a philanthropist sounds like something limited only to those who give large financial gifts. But the truth is that philanthropy is accessible to anyone.”
Successful Philanthropy: How To Make a Life by What You Give is available to order in Hardcover and E-Reader on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Indiebound. The book is also available for purchase wherever books area sold.

Dr Dalton Dog Treats
Dr. Dalton’s Premium Dog Treats (www.drdaltons.com) are made from the high-quality, low-fat meat that dogs love. Good meat, loaded with healthy protein, is an essential part of your dog’s nutrition regimen; many dogs that suffer from overweight, itchy, flaky skin, coarse and brittle coats or low energy are lacking meat in their diet.
When you offer your pet Dr. Dalton’s Premium Treats, you can feel good knowing that they are made from that one health-essential ingredient for canines: high-quality natural beef, chicken, or pork. They contain no additives such as sugar, salt, coloring, flavoring, sweeteners, gluten, grain, chemicals or preservatives. Produced entirely in the U.S., under strict manufacturing standards, Dr. Dalton’s Premium Treats have the crunch that dogs enjoy and are sized perfectly for a between-meal or training snack.
Dr. Susan Dalton, founder and creator of Dr. Dalton’s Premium treats, has spent years saving and retraining aggressive, frightened and traumatized dogs using positive reinforcement methods. When she couldn’t find the high-quality treats she needed for working with her dogs, she decided to make them. Now all dogs can benefit from this quality snack.
Ever since Jacob’s kidney injury back in January, I have been extra careful with what he gets. He loves the Meat Medley treats and I know the are great for him because they contain only high quality proteins and no weird additives!
About Dr. Susan Dalton and Dr. Daltons Premium Treats
Dr. Susan Dalton grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds – dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, and even salt water fish. After receiving her Ph.D., she worked with troubled adolescents, and served as both a university professor, and researcher.
Dr. Dalton began training dogs after adopting Cassie, a 10-week old Border Collie who had been rescued from under a car. Cassie was traumatized; fearful and aggressive. When Dr. Dalton consulted various ‘experts’ on how to best rehabilitate Cassie, all of the trainers she spoke with labeled the pup unworkable – a hopeless case.
Susan began reading everything she could about dog training, and personally developed a highly effective dog training program based on positive reinforcement. Using this philosophy, she founded the California School for Dogs Inc. in 2009. Since then, Dr. Dalton has trained hundreds of dogs – specializing in frightened, aggressive and traumatized animals.
With healthy treats a cornerstone of her training program, Dr. Dalton wasn’t satisfied with the dog treat options available to her. She started making her own treats in 2012, using clean and simple ingredients like chicken, beef and pork. It was her clients who convinced her to make her treats available for purchase. Since then, Dr. Dalton has mastered the creation of a dog treat that is both healthy and doggy-delicious.
All of Dr. Dalton’s Premium Pet treats are sourced, produced, and packaged in the USA They can be purchased at www.DrDaltons.com and come in three flavors – Simply Beef, Simply Chicken and Meat Medley (made from beef, chicken and pork).
