GTHS Evening of Excellence
April 20th was a special evening at the Strand for the volunteers and team
at the Georgian Triangle Humane Society. Celebrating National Volunteer
Week (April 23-29) the organization held an Evening of Excellence, to
recognize outstanding contributions from the hardworking volunteers of
both the animal shelter and Treasure Tails retail store. It was truly an evening
to remember. Sonya Reichel, Executive Director for the Georgian Triangle
Humane Society stated “The volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization,
we simply could not survive without them. We are forever grateful and
indebted for their support and dedication to our animals and work. This
evening is just a small way that we can say thanks”. The GTHS operates
with no government funds, so the volunteer team is a very important part of
keeping the shelter and Treasure Tails running. The highlight of the evening
was when 12 volunteers were recognized for their 10 years of service - each
awarded a commemorative pin and were added to the newly installed
Wall of Excellence at the GTHS Animal Shelter. The recognized volunteers
included: Kathi Reid, Deb Boyd, John Worts, Gloria Bowman, Maggie Lowe,
Jackie Robson, Joanne Anderson, Sandy Lager, Shawn McLean, Joan Doner,
Janice Merrifield and Lisa Rowland.
