Thank You!
 
We would like to thank all the people that helped with our recent fundraising events - the Brunch Ski and Music Event/Silent Auction. We appreciate the work that went into these two events and want to thank all the people who volunteered their time and talents. We also want to
thank the many businesses and individuals who contributed food, auction items, and other materials.
 
 
Walk Against Violence
 
Along with the Copper Country Humane Society, we will again this summer hold a walk along College Avenue in Houghton to show support for a community without violence towards people or their pets. More information about the time and place will be coming soon.
