1. A success story~
The Humane Society of Mason County had a very successful public meeting December
4th
at the North Mason Timberland Library in Belfair. In attendance where Gina James,
Patricia Carter, Carol Fox, Anne Garcia, Bob Houle, Chris Schlicht, Adonis Newkirk,
Lillian Carter, Tom Carter, Enid Webber, Lori Ringland, Rose Sheary, Carol Stevenson,
Denese Bowman, Karin Calderwood, Marian Frye, Mary Palmer, Elain Perron, Julia
Ruggenberg, and Virginia Stetner. The meeting was held to re-establish and awaken the
dormant slumber of Mason County’s Humane Society, which has been kept active by
Lillian Carter and her husband Tom Carter. The society disassembled for numerous
reasons but it has had a refreshing and much needed arousing from its concerned
community. The assembly on Saturday was the beginning of what should promises to be
the successful appointment of a new Board of Directors, and a number of much needed
committees to start the foundation work for a new facility and foster care network for
homeless, abused and orphaned animals. A number of volunteers met again on
December 8th
to discuss and review the current by-laws that where established in 1986
when the society was originally incorporated. The next meeting has yet to be determined
but the appointment of a temporary Board of Directors will be the result of our next
meeting. Donations and community awareness are some of the priorities on our agenda.
