653-0171 Email: norwesco@gte.net ![]() Pioneers help animal shelter - On Friday, January 16th, over 150 dogs were seized from a "puppy mill" in Gold Bar WA. Those dogs were taken to the animal shelter in Everett. The raid was covered by the local paper and news channels. Donations were requested. The dogs were in very bad condition. Some had to be put down. I emailed Karen Stalberger at the animal shelter asking if they had specific needs we could help with. She said the employees and volunteers had been working so many hours since Friday it would be nice to do something for them, and of course food is always good. |

I told Karen about our group of
Pioneers at Verizon and told her I would "rally the troops"
and be bringing in homemade goodies on Wednesday. After sending out an email to the Norwesco Pioneer Club
distribution list, I started getting questions about
donating
money as well. I offered to take any monetary
donations to the shelter when I delivered the goodies on
Wednesday.
In
total 6 people brought in homemade goodies. And 14 people
donated money, and after the Verizon Foundation match (MIP
program) that total monetary donation will be $770. All this
in just over 48 hours notice.On Wednesday, January 21st, Marie Shaw and I went to the
Everett Animal Shelter and met with Karen
Stalberger. She
was so excited for the goodies because she'd been having
trouble keeping that secret from the volunteers, they only
knew something good was being dropped off. She accepted the
monetary donations and we explained how the Verizon
Foundation matching funds works, she had all the info she
needs to get that match.
The shelter is currently closed to the public. Volunteers
and workers have tables set up out in front to answer
questions, and take donations. While we were there for maybe
10 minutes the donations just kept coming, it was a
wonderful feeling to see the community rise to the occasion.
And just FYI...... ARF is the
charitable arm of the Everett Animal Shelter. ARF provides
when tax dollars cannot. ARF is a 501(c)(3) organization.
Volunteers work for ARF not the Everett Animal Shelter.
