Board members of the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society have elected new officers and appointed a new member of the board of directors at their annual meeting recently.
\nThe board voted to appoint Paul Davis as new President. Davis had served as Vice-president and will assume his new duties in January. Past President Rob Terdiman was chosen to serve as Vice-president for CPHS. Both men will serve two year terms.
\nAlso chosen to repeat as board Treasurer was Deborah Keith.
\nThe board voted to appoint Rick VanEvenhoven as a new board member.
\nBoard members serve for three years and may be elected to a second 3-year term if approved by the board.
\nIn addition, the board agreed to add a special category of \u201cHonorary Board Member\u201d for outgoing board members who have distinguished themselves through gifting to the shelter. The board recognized both Bob Pennington and Dan Lawruk for their long service and contributions to the organization. Honorary board members are invited to attend meetings but do not have voting privileges.
\nAlso, this is a reminder the new Central Pennsylvania Humane Society 2007 \u201cPicture Perfect Pet\u201d calendar is currently available at The Daily Herald office located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Tyrone.
\nThe full color, glossy print calendars feature over 70 local pets who competed for the honor of being pictured as a month, on a special \u201chonorable mention\u201d page or on the front\/back cover.
\nThe calendars would make a perfect holiday gift for your co-workers, family members and friends.
\nThe calendars sell for $7 each and are $5 for CPHS card-carrying members.
\nBesides The Daily Herald office, the CPHS shelter and thrift shop, other locations to purchase calendars include: Chris\u2019 Hallmark, Brew Zoo, Thompson Pharmacy, V.I.P. Pets and Aquarium, Tyrone Veterinary Associates, New Look Uniform, Ambience Photography, Moments Photography, Ray Kauffman Photography, Baronner\u2019s Farm Market, Quality Awards, A-1 Auto Glass; Beaks, Paws and Claws; Veterinary Hospital of Altoona and Rustic Country Furniture.
\nFinally, CPHS is again offering a great way to help homeless animals this holiday season without actually adopting them. CPHS is kicking off a special \u201cSponsor a Pet for the Holidays\u201d campaign involving direct donations for specific animals at the shelter.
\nFor $100 (or more), individuals, families, businesses, office workers or groups of friends can sponsor a CPHS \u201cresident\u201d animal throughout the holiday season. The money will go directly to feed and care for that particular animal. In return for the donation, CPHS will post a flier on each sponsored animals\u2019 cage that notes the sponsorship (it can be directly attributed to the sponsor or \u201cin memory\u201d or \u201cin honor\u201d of a person (or animal) of their choice.
\nThe campaign runs through January. Sponsorships are available for any of the animals (about 60) currently housed at the shelter while they wait for new homes.
\nPeople interested in sponsoring can choose a particular animal if they like or allow the shelter to choose. The shelter staff will place the flier on his\/her cage. If the pet is adopted, the flier will move to another cage to denote the continuing sponsorship.
\nAlso, CPHS has an on-going wish list for those individuals who would like to donate an item to the shelter, which can include: kitty litter, puppy and kitten food, leashes and collars, toys and treats for the animals, bleach and laundry detergent, medium-sized gloves for cleaning, old blankets and towels, copy paper, postage stamps, hand sanitizer and paper towels.
