Membership- 2012
Dear HSMC Supporter,
The Humane Society of Madison County have moved into our new shelter located at 2020 ST RT 142 NE, West Jefferson OH 43162. This new shelter has been a dream of many animal lovers and pet owners for a long time. If you have not made it out for a tour, we are open monday to friday from 1pm to 5pm and saturday noon to 5pm. Closed on sunday and all major holidays. Once winter is over, we are planning some evening hours.
The new shelter has been a blessing for the shelter animals, the shelter staff and public. All is now under one roof and there is a room for folks to visit with the animals. It will be easier to keep clean and providing even better care for the animals.
Of course this new shelter will come more expense for the HSMC. Now that we are no longer on county property, the HSMC will have to pay all utilities, have the lawn mowed, snow removed, etc. These are expenses we never had before. The HSMC board knew we would have more responsibility at the new shelter, however, it is worth it. We are hoping you feel the same.
Enclosed is the membership form for 2012. By becoming a member, you will help in providing the funds to continue our mission of caring for Madison County homeless animals. You will receive information on fundraising events, special member only events, and so much more. We can only print so many newsletters so if at all possible, please let us send our newsletter to your e-mail. Be assured we will not share your e-mail address with anyone. We have big plans for the HSMC in 2012 and we are sure you will not want to miss a thing.
If you would be interested in helping the HSMC at the shelter or with some of our events, please ask us to send you a volunteer form or pick one up at the shelter. Even volunteering for a few hours a month can make the biggest different to the HSMC and the animals in our care.
Again, we thank you for your support of the Humane Society of Madison County and we hope you have a Great New Year!
Sincerely,
Betty Peyton
HSMC Shelter Director
