The Central Pennsylvania Humane Society is looking for new members.
\nThe shelter has about 1,200 dues paying members at present. CPHS officials say membership fees help to defray the cost of operations but \u201cdoesn\u2019t come close to covering all the necessary expenses.\u201d
\n\u201cWe\u2019re making some changes we hope will help us and we solicit member involvement. We need to double our ranks,\u201d said Dave Hopkins, CPHS Director of Fundraising\/Public Relations.
\nBeginning immediately, CPHS will undertake a special campaign designed to raise awareness of the need for the shelter. They are asking current members to do two things: First- renew their membership now. The current system of memberships is cumbersome, according to CPHS officials, and there is no effective way (without a cost involved) to remind people to renew.
\n\u201cWe want to change our system making July the one month every year that membership renewals are due,\u201d said Hopkins.
\n\u201cAnd\u2026.we hope folks will not only renew now (even if they\u2019re not due)\u2026.but ask a friend, family member, relative or co-worker to join as well. By doubling our membership, we can afford to improve our services\/care not only to our homeless animals, but to our customers as well!\u201d
\nHopkins suggests giving a CPHS membership as a birthday present\u2026..holiday gift\u2026..or retirement offering. According to Hopkins, memberships are not expensive ($20 for an individual, $15 for a senior and $30 for a family).
\nThe shelter is in the process of creating new and expanding veterinary services.
\n\u201cWe have already set up a clinic area where spay\/neuter operations and other procedures designed to improve the health of as many animals as possible are performed. All that is costly.\u201d
\nFor more information on the \u201cDouble-up\u201d campaign or to renew your membership, call Dave Hopkins at 942-2477 today and \u201chelp us make a better tomorrow for homeless animals!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
