THANK YOU DIANA CRIMI FOR YOUR SAVING OUR ANIMALS WORK!
Diana Crimi, who brought the issue of Yelm's Animal Shelter before the Yelm City Council and the public has resigned from the Yelm Animal Alliance saying,
"I am writing to let you all know I have made the decision to volunteer my time in dog rescue work a little closer to home [Roy] in the days to come. There are so many dogs out there that need help.
It has been a pleasure meeting and working with all of you. I know we all have worked hard and have been able to place many dogs in great homes. I also feel very good about the fact that the Yelm community now has such a fine group of people, as yourselves, to make them more aware than ever that there is a facility and organization that they can call on in the event their dog or cat is missing."
THANK YOU DIANA FOR YOUR COURAGE TO STAND AGAINST A DEFIANT CITY HALL AND IN CREATING THE YELM ANIMAL ALLIANCE!
Liquid Soul Cafe

Phone: 400-SOUL
The next meeting of the Yelm Animal Alliance is tonight from 6:00 - 7:00ish at Liquid Soul Cafe in McKenna.
They now have achieved the following:
1) Registered as a Non-Profit with the State of Washington
2) Registered as a Non-Profit with the IRS
3) Acquired a City of Yelm business license [as suggested by Mayor Harding]
4) Acquired a checking account.
5) Created / developed all of the necessary forms for Fostering, Adoption, etc.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MRS. CRIMI FOR GETTING THIS UNDERWAY AND FOR THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY STEPPING UP FOR THIS GRAND AND WORTHY CAUSE!
The loss of Diana as the Yelm Animal Alliance's main rescue coordinator will leave a huge hole in the group's need for volunteer foster homes. Diana was the main contact who facilitated and fostered many many lost, neglected and abandoned animals for the City of Yelm and Roy. I only hope the remainder of the Yelm Animal Alliance can find a way to fill this void. Good luck to the Yelm Animal Alliance, both Diana and I will be continuing our rescue ventures as a partnership, rather than as part of the group.
