Letters to the Editor...Humane Society appreciates generosity

Dear editor, On February 24 the Upper Credit Humane Society celebrated the grand opening of its new thrift store located in the Moore Park Plaza. We were delighted to have Mayor Rick Bonnette and his rescue greyhound Lucy on hand to officially open the store with a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by the presentation of a certificate wishing us success in our new location. The mayor, in turn, was presented with an official T-shirt and Lucy with a bright pink bandana. We wish to thank all those supporters who joined us Saturday-- both those who we have met before and those who came in for the first time. You all helped contribute to an amazing day that exceeded our expectations. Many thanks to the following businesses that graciously donated cakes, donuts and refreshments-- Tim Hortons Guelph St. Georgetown, the A&P grocery store on Sinclair Avenue, and Marc's Value Mart, Main St. Erin. On behalf of everyone at the Upper Credit Humane Society, may I say how this community continues to impress us with its generosity.
