KHS: Raised $46,000 at event

KHS would like to thank those that joined us in our amazing night on Lake Coeur d'Alene at Roger and Denice Rummel's Black Rock home. Through the generous donations of those who attended our event Kootenai Humane Society was able to raise $46,000. These funds will go directly to our animals in Kootenai County.

We would like to send a very special thank you to Duane Hagadone for his wonderful donation of a Moonlight Ride on his 60-foot Custom Yacht Sizzler which also included dinner for six at the Beachouse. This Live Auction item raised $10,000! The experience will be priceless.

Kootenai Humane Society is a nonprofit 501c3 organization that is not funded by the city, county, state or government. We depend on fees, donations and grants for our funding. Before any animal is adopted it is vaccinated, including rabies vaccines, spayed/ neutered, micro chipped and dogs are behavior tested. These costs are not passed onto the adopter so your support is very important to our vision - Creating Lifetime Friends Through Adoption.

Thank you to those that support us through utilizing our thrift stores, becoming volunteers, fostering our animals and many other opportunities.

What a beautiful and rewarding night.

Executive Director of Kootenai Humane Society

CELLAR: Supports North Idaho youth

This past week I have been helping my youngest granddaughter and my youngest grandson get ready for school and sports activities. Over the years I have had five grandchildren go through the Coeur d'Alene School District system both in academics and sports. They have all done very well in all their endeavors.

I would like to thank one of our local businessman for his and his staff's continuing support of the youth of our area. Greg Crimy and staff of the Sports Cellar have always given great assistance in helping me through the right choices for equipment, etc., for my grandchildren's endeavors.

Greg and staff are always willing to find the perfect fit for all their sports needs. Please support our local businesses. Thanks again Greg and staff.

Sincerely,

JANEE K. NEWBY
