Presenter Heidi Ogas will help attendees learn some of the history of the High Desert Humane Society, how we came to be and how we operate. We will discuss our mission and all the things we do to fulfill that mission. We will also learn about the not so well-known things the Society does to help companion animals and the citizens of our community. What are our goals and dreams for the future? Come find out.
Born and raised in Albuquerque, Heidi began volunteering at their Humane Society in her teens. After working as a mechanic and truck driver for several years, she moved to Silver City in 1985 where it became home base, working Highway construction. In 2000 she was able to transfer off the highways and put down more stable roots in the community. Heidi joined the Board of Directors of the High Desert Humane Society in 2004 and has continued to share her love and compassion for our companion animals for over 20 years.
Heidi's presentation will be held in the ABC classroom of the WNMU Besse-Forward Global Resources Center from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Attendance is free and open to the public. Lunch is not provided, but participants may bring their own.
