RESOLUTION NO. 64 — 89
PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER AS
GREATER ANOKA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY MONTH
the Greater Anoka County Humane Society was
established 10 years ago using volunteers' homes to
provide shelter to a small number of stray animals;
and,
two years ago the Humane Society built a shelter to
meet the growing needs for their services; and,
now, the Humane Society, utilizing a network of
over 100 volunteers, cares for an average of up to
150 animals per day with over 50 per cent per month
being adopted out to new homes; and,
as the demand for services continues to grow the
shelter needs to build additional holding pens and
exercise areas for the animals; and,
it is a primary goal of the Humane Society to
increase public awareness in the schools and the
community to the importance of proper care for
animals; and,
WHEREAS, in an effort to raise funds for the building
additions and the public outreach, the Humane
Society is hosting a 5K Walk/Run/Roll For Homeless
Animals on Saturday, September 23, 1989 at Bunker
Hills Regional Park; and,
WHEREAS, the Lino Lakes City Council supports the Humane
Society's goals and fundraising efforts because
they will result in better care for animals:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lino Lakes City
Council does proclaim the Month of September as Greater Anoka
County Humane Society Month throughout Lino Lakes and
encourages increased public awareness of the services
provided by the non-profit organization:
