The Coastal Humane Society (CHS) of Brunswick is pleased to announce that an anonymous donor has graciously donated $100,000 to the organization. “The donor was impressed with the manner in which CHS has revamped the entire organization and improved performance and organizational excellence over the past 3 years”, said John Moncure, attorney for the donor, who notified CHS of the generous gift.
CHS has undertaken a rigorous self assessment, executed a professionally facilitated strategic planning initiative, made Board and staffing changes as needed and has most recently invited the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to audit CHS operations to assist CHS in even further improving its organizational excellence.
HSUS is considered to be the foremost expert resource in animal shelter operations in the United States and they are more typically brought in to look at an organization in crisis.

It’s hard to believe that it’s the end of January already.  The year 2010 is just a memory – and it’s amazing that for Project Linus of Cumberland County, we delivered a grand total of 1651 blankets!  Wow!  Thank you everyone for contributing.  So many children. .

Nomination deadline is February 16, 2011.
