#11 HHHS History

Have you ever wondered how long the Helping Hands Humane Society has been helping homeless pets?  Did you know we started in a super small space and only recently, (January, 2013), moved into the wonderful new facility at 21st and Belle?
 
              
    
This long and wonderful history is available in a book lovingly put together by Roscoe and Mary Ann Earp.  Mary Ann is a current member of the Helping Hands Humane Society's Board of Directors.  In fact, she has been on the Board over 30 years!  Who better to compile our history?!

     

The book is filled with newspaper articles, mostly from the Topeka Capital-Journal.  With their permission, Roscoe and Mary Ann painstakingly included every article they could find about the shelter.  Included are special interviews with celebrities and their pets.  You're sure to enjoy reading about Bam Bam, Melissa Brunner's (WIBW Television Anchor) Dalmatian.  In addition to adopting from the shelter, Melissa continually supports HHHS by participating in Tails on the Trail, our 5K Walk/Run and by emceeing Bone Appetit, our spring Dinner/Live, Silent &Wine Auction.
      
Proceeds from the sale of the HHHS history book benefit the shelter animals.  What a perfect gift for the animal lover on your list!
