HUMANE SOCIETY THANKS ALL WHOSE DESIGNATED GIVING PURCHASED
NEW BUILDING
The
Humane Society of Morgan County thanks everyone whose generosity
made possible the purchase of their
recently delivered new office
and visitors’ center building. It
will provide much needed office space, an area for community
outreach and animal education
programs and a roomy area for visitors to comfortably meet with
staff members and complete paperwork. This will also free up
space in our main cat building for our staff to provide individual
care, grooming, and attention to their “furry residents” and
for prospective adopters to meet and interact with individual
cats. Prior to putting the new building into use, the Humane
Society needs funds to help complete the inside of the new building
with insulation, drywall, electrical service, heating and cooling,
painting, and flooring. Most of the work will be done by volunteer
labor, but approximately $3,000 is needed to pay for the necessary
materials.
If
you can donate to help complete this project, please send your
tax deductible
contribution to the “Capital Improvement
Fund” HSMC, PO Box 705, Berkeley Springs, WV 25411.
The Humane Society also thanks everyone who has donated, so
far, in response to their Annual Spring Challenge. To date,
183 donors
have given a total of $11, 620. This is a little more than
one third of the total $30,000 goal for the 2008 Spring Challenge
which, when reached, will cover about one third of the annual
cost of operating the Adoption Center. The Humane Society receives
no funds from local, state or Federal taxes and no support
for
the Humane Society of the United States. The small, volunteer-run
organization depends on the generosity of those who recognize
the need for the services they provide to the community for
most of its funding. With nearly $20,000 still needed to
meet the
goal, the Humane Society encourages all who have not yet given
in response to the Spring Challenge to consider making a tax-deductible
contribution to help keep the Adoption Center operating.
