Donna Mae Goldade introduced Marilyn Crisp as the guest speaker. Marilyn spoke on The Past, Present and Future of the Local SPCA. She noted that it had been incorporated in1979 with several teachers among the founding members to “find homes for stray animals”. In the past year it has sheltered 779 dogs,1214 cats and 126 other animals. The SPCA has many programs beyond acting as a lost and found. It offers low cost spay and neuter programs and arranges foster care for animals. It has educational programs as well as “pets for seniors”.
Marilyn encouraged members to consider volunteering as walkers or as tour guides and she promoted the current calendar sale and 50/50 ticket fundraisers.
