A message from Judge Jerry

I have some information for Hobo Hotel for Cats volunteers and supporters. As you know, Roni Kemerly was our Board of Directors president for 2009. What a wonderful, trusted servant. Meow. She will remain on the Board to work with our new president, Shanna Garofolo, in 2010.

Shanna has been a volunteer with Hobo Hotel for two and a half years. She and her son, Andrew, began with the TLC program in 2007. They moved to the adoptions program at Petsmart on Fridays and started cleaning at the Care Center every other Sunday. She now coordinates all of our on-line adoption activities. Shanna accepted being a Board member nine months ago and is now the President! I am delighted to have such a loving, caring, and dedicated to all kittens person be our president. Purr.
