FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

President’s Report

I realize not much time has passed since the fall report, but wanted to wish you all happy holidays and to thank our members for their support in 2009. This year has been difficult for a lot of people and that’s why we want to sincerely thank all of you who continue to support our animals. It may sound cliché, but we really could never do it without you.

As a reminder, the shelter will be closed December 24th, 25th, and 26th. Normally we are closed on Wednesday’s; however, we will have normal hours of operation on Wednesday, December 23rd. In addition to the Christmas closing, we will be closed January 1st, in observance of New Years Day. Please check with the shelter directly for our satellite holiday hours. If you are thinking of getting a pet as a gift, may we suggest a stuffed animal along with a gift certificate from the Humane Society. Sadly, more often that not pets that have been purchased as gifts, are returned to us. Rest assured we want to see our charges get new and loving homes, but feel bad when they are returned.

The holiday season is such a busy time that we sometimes overlook what is really important. My holiday wish is for all of us to slow down a bit and take a cue from our pets. Keep focused on what truly has purpose in your life and make an effort to nurture it. Our pet’s main focus is on us and I’m sure you’ll agree they nurture the relationship they have with us constantly. The concept is simple, but I know personally I could do better and what a perfect time to try and do so. Lets all try to just make a more Humane Society.

On behalf of myself, the board, and staff, thank you again for the continued support and generosity you have given us over the years. We wish you the very best holiday season and a happy and healthy New Year.

Nancy Reinbold
Board President
