Marion County Humane Society February Meeting

The regular January meeting of the Marion County Humane Society will be held at the Hamilton City Hall on the regular meeting day (of the 2nd Tuesday of the month) February 9, 2010. Everyone is welcome!

JANUARY MEETING WAS A SUCCESS AT GUIN, AL CITY HALL

The January Meeting of the Marion County Humane Society was held on the 3rd Monday in January, at 6:30 p.m., (January 25, 2010) at the Guin City Hall.  Special guests were Guin Mayor, Phil Segraves & Bobbie Mullins of Guin.  President Bill Nowlin spoke to the group concerning the purpose and current status of the organization. A question and answer session followed.

Marion County Commission Approved Land Grant for Marion County Humane Society

Our (MCHS) land is 5 acres (more or less) in Pikeville!  It directly adjoins the south side fence of the asphalt plant on the south side of hwy 78/43 between Hamilton, AL and Guin, AL.  The land is actually on Marion County Hwy. 2.  We have a sign up to mark our land and now we need funds to build a building and get it started!

The land we acquired from the Marion County Commission is centrally located if you look at Marion County as a whole.  It is easily accessible from any part the county.  I 22 (Corridor X) is less that 2 miles from the entrance to  the site.  Our land is on a plateau and traffic on the Interstate can be viewed in the distance from the site.

As we understand, the stipulation from the County Commission, in deeding the land to us, is that if we fail to continue as the Marion County Humane Society and to maintain the 501C - 3 (Non-Profit - Tax Exempt) status, then the property reverts back to the Marion County Commission and thus to the people of Marion County. 

But we definitely plan to succeed!

Pictures taken June 23rd, 2009 at the sign on the land with several board members and many other faithful members of the Marion County Humane Society can be seen below:
