Did you miss Crab Feed 2010? If so, you missed the best All-You-Can-Eat event ever. This year's winter fundraiser netted about $15K to support operation of the Tri-Cities only no-kill animal shelter. Thank you to all who attended this fun event. A special thank you to the many volunteers who helped the 11th Annual Crab Feed break records.

BFHS Board changes: At the January 18 Annual Meeting, the Board voted to elect John Ittner as the new Vice-President, succeeding the late Dave Parmeter. Michelle Inserra was elected Treasurer. Shannon Novakovich and Deb Still were re-elected board President and Secretary, respectively. The board also voted to retain trustees Tim Roloff, Dan Mulhausen, Debra Still, and Andrew Hicks for another two-year term.

Please welcome Bobbie Vance as a new Shelter Staff member.

BFHS has completed the purchase of land for a new shelter!

The annual "For the Love of Giving" campaign at Battelle netted the BFHS $1045 in monetary donations and tons of supplies. We want to give them a special "thank you" for once again helping us out this time of the year.
