( Anne Narejko photo ) Humane Society seeks fund -pairing ideas CLINTON - Several new ideas on how to raise funds for the Huronia Branch of the Ontario Humane Society's proposed animal shelter were heard during the annual general meeting on February 5. The Huronia Branch has been looking for suitable lots on which to build an animal shelter which could also be used as a pound. The price of the lots already looked at have varied, costing between $12,000 and $25,000. "Sometimes we felt that we were within inches of getting land only to find out it wasn't suitable," explained 1985 president Melodie Howse. In 1985, fund raising activities raised $5,422, bringing the shelter fund account to $8,877.69. This money was raised through the annual lottery, garage sale, booths at local fairs, pen and calendar sales and the Christmas draw. This year the major fund raiser will be The Herrmann Royal Lipizzan Stallion show in Goderich on May 25-26. "This is to be the best fund raiser yet. We're hoping to set up box seats and the Huronia Branch will get half the funds rais- ed from them," said Miss Howse. It was suggested the branch do more advertising .through the radio, newspaper and .television to make people aware of the Huronia Branch. It was also suggested that containers an- nouncing fund raising for the animal shelter be placed in malls and banks throughout Huron County. Miss Howse told the few in attendance that an agent is still being sought. "We spend an awful lot of time trying to find homes (for animals)," she said, adding there are only two inspectors for all Ontario.
