Brenda West, Jim Ray and Kristin Moro-Coleman were elected as new Board members for Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation at its annual meeting on January 29, 2009. Brandon Anderson, Barbara Buck and Steve Hewitt were named to fill unexpired terms of former members and Nancy Bulluck and Herb Trenka were re-elected to the Board.
Doyle Teague, out-going Board president, discussed "Where We Came From" regarding Sarge's reason for existence and Rosa Allomong presented the short, medium and long-terms goals for Sarge's as developed by the Planning committee. "Ultimately it will take the efforts of HAWA's spay/neuter program to reduce the intake of animals coming into the shelter, as well as Sarge's efforts in getting animals out of the shelter and into suitable homes, to reach the goal of a 10% euthanasia rate in five years." said Allomong."
