Bootz and Elvis
The Annual Membership Meeting of the Sierra County Humane Society, Inc. was held on Monday February 4th, at Frank and Jody Koch’s home in T or C. Among other important matters discussed and voted on, elections were held for the three positions available this year on the Board of Directors. Board members Frederica Loveless and Frank Koch will continue on for another three years. Hellen (Bootz) Farrester was elected to the post left vacant by Ardell Scarticcini, who has been a Charter member of the Sierra County Humane Society and a Board member for the past several years. Bootz, as her friends call Hellen, has been a very active member since her friend Al Wilkinson –Dog Trainer at DHAR - convinced her to join our team of volunteers almost two years ago. Welcome to the Board, Bootz!
Who said men can’t cook? Nobody believes that at Desert Haven, especially after the delicious Italian style stuffed shells prepared and served by New York native Ron Gjurovich at last Tuesday’s lunch. Ron drove his RV to Desert Haven in Spring of 2007 and is making the sanctuary his “Pied-a-Terre” for a while. Great to have you on our team, Ron!
This week’s kudos go to Julie Rhedding of Albuquerque, ALCO, Alise Anima and Chris Montoya of T or C, The Hammonds of Las Cruces, Peter and Karin Altendorf of Texas, who either donated much needed pet food or contributed towards the purchase of pet food for the non-human residents of DHAR. Also a huge thank-you goes to our friends R & B from Colorado - who wish to remain anonymous - for their very generous donation to the cause of the animals of Sierra County.
We appreciate the kind letter from the caring gentleman who donated to Desert Haven miscellaneous items and pet food in memory of his 13 year old kitty “Inky” who passed away from Diabetes a few days ago, and his German Shepherd “ Rex” who died of bone cancer: We at Desert Haven understand his loss, of an understanding only those who genuinely love animals can share.
The need for canned dog and cat food, as well as dry cat food, is a priority at this time at DHAR, and we hope that our animal loving friends will be generous.
These past few weeks have been full of Birthday wishes: Ardell Scarticcini, Ron Gjurovich, Dolly Loftus, Dave Estavillo, George and DiAnna Schnetzer. Happy Birthday to all of you, and many happy returns. For more information about DHAR, contact Freddie at 894-2778. Also visit our web sites at http://www.DesertHavenAnimalRefuge.com
