Homemakers hear all about W-W Humane Shelter's work

At the Tignall Homemakers April 19 meeting, Karyn Brooke, accompanied by her daughter Kelsey, Grace Ann Branch, and four canine friends, spoke about the invaluable work done by the Washington-Wilkes Humane Shelter Association of which she is the vice-president.

Unlike many such groups, the Washington-Wilkes Humane Shelter Association goes to great lengths to avoid euthanizing animals unless absolutely unavoidable, even trucking many of them to distant states for adoption. However, Karen advised anyone looking for a pet to visit the local site where helpers would assist in choosing just the right dog or cat. In response to a member's question about stray animals, she said they may be taken to the shelter, but in the case of a large or possible aggressive animal, she advised calling for someone to come out to collect it.

While she was speaking, one very appealing little tyke became so unhappy at being separated from her that she finished her talk, much to the amusement of her audience, with the little dog in her arms.

During a brief business meeting, the club expressed much appreciation for John Kennedy's work in repairing the library's window sills.

Refreshments provided by hostesses Celeste Adams, Linda Burns, and Faye Durham were made even more inviting by gorgeous clematis blossoms scattered among the dishes.
