EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
|
|
We at the Payson Humane
Society are fortunate to have exemplary employees, and Janet
Ostrom is one such person. Not only is Janet an
exceptional employee, but she is our longest running one at
that.
On December 1, 2003, Janet
was hired as a kennel staff person. In addition to
cleaning and sanitizing kennels and cages, kennel staff assist with
adoptions, as well as other necessary tasks. |
|
In no time, Janet was put in
charge of puppies. She held that position until June of 2004,
when she was promoted to Administrative Supervisor, and put in
charge of records, deposits, general paperwork and bookkeeping
responsibilities.
Then, in October 2006, Janet
became Shelter Manager and held that title until October 2007,
when a shelter director was hired in anticipation of a new
facility. At that point, Janet was put in charge of Finance and
Bookkeeping and has remained in that capacity to this day.
Janet has seen a lot of
changes in her nearly 5 years at Payson Humane Society, and she
is hopeful that the next 5 will begin at a brand new,
state-of-the-art facility. |

PAYSON HUMANE SOCIETY ~ NEW SHELTER
UPDATE
|
Update:
The
Payson Humane Society is pleased to announce an extremely generous offer from an
anonymous donor for matching funds for our new building project. This
donor will match donations received from the public, up to $100,000.
The
donations should be marked for the building fund, but donors should be aware
that 10% of any donation will be applied to the general operating fund.
This is to insure that enough funds are received to pay for the daily expenses
of operating the shelter.
Since funds donated now will not be used for many months, they will have the
advantage of being invested and earning interest until they are needed.
We
urge the community to take this opportunity to double, with interest, its
generosity by donating to the Building Fund now.
Click on "Newsletter" on the menu bar to read our latest "New Shelter Update".
For more information, please call:
JO at (928) 478-6517
