Humane Society of East Texas Needs Funds

TYLER — The Humane Society of East Texas is struggling financially, more so than ever in its 43-year history, according to Executive Director Gayle Helms. On KTBB “Staff Meeting,” she says one way you can help is to become a “Friend of the Shelter.” Helms says that’s sort of like being a member, at a cost of $30 or whatever you can afford above that figure. But Helms points out that any donation, large or small, “is just critical to us.” She also hopes you’ll come see the “Cause for the Paws” benefit concert, featuring Lindale’s own Miranda Lambert, to be held in downtown Tyler April 30. You can go to http://www.hsoet.org for more information. You can also listen to the “Staff Meeting” show at http://www.ktbb.com/audio beginning early Monday morning.
