Troy Women's Association Board for 2011-2012


June of each year, to celebrate the year ending, we come together and swear in TWA's new Board.  This social activity blended with business, has a feeling of finishing while at the same time beginning.  Our work and friendship, every year a new link, has 42 loops, each representing one more year for the organization.

Near forty projects were completed and we know that children and seniors, and many in between, benefited from our work.  See troywomensassociation.org /projects.html Margaret Mead was so right when she said that a committed group of people could change the world. We are doing our part to change the world for the better.

No Kill Rescue

Kitten in a hammock
Today, Donna and Edith headed south to Madison Heights to visit the Animal Welfare Society with a check for $250.  This organization started almost thirty years ago in a house of a person who loved animals and felt a deep responsibility to house them, care them to health, and give them up for adoption. 
Through the years, with donations from the public, five years ago, they moved to their own headquarters on John R.
Playroom for cats and kittens
Unlike the Humane Society, Animal Welfare Society never euthanizes a cat or a dog.  An un-adoptable cat will spend its life in a large playroom with its own kind.  The doggies are not that lucky.  They stay in cages.
Every Saturday from noon to three, dogs in foster homes (waiting to be adopted) are on display.
