The Villages and the Sumter County Commissioners seem to work hand-in-hand for the developers' interests much of the time. You may have to get creative on how you approach this. You can fight City Hall if you have some friends working there. Think along those lines.

Good luck.

You do great work with Lost Pets of the Villages. Please keep it up.
Thank you, We will post my presentation to the commissioners.

My point was that they continue to tell us to volunteer. Personally, I don't have time to volunteer as we have to work so hard to keep our pets out of the shelter to keep them alive. Honestly, it's a full-time job keeping the pets out of there.

I have no doubt the volunteers care for the animals at the Humane Society. That doesn't help the animals that NEVER get to the Humane Society or the animals that are taken back because they aren't adopted fast enough.

I digress... The commissioners have asked us to volunteer at the Humane Society. We have asked for their financials and SOP to see how they run the operation. They send me what appears to be a pee-stained 990 and refuse to send the SOP.

This is not a group of "ladies" I want to work with. Would you?

Thank you for your suggestion. we do have help at a higher level... much higher.
