Y’s Women

Y’s Women of the Hormel Historic Home met Jan. 9 at the Mower County Humane Society.  Barry Rush, Kelly Rush and Teri Zimmerman led us on a tour of the new building, an impressive facility. It is heartwarming to see the loving care given to the animals by the volunteers.

Members then went to Perkins for lunch and a short business meeting.

The next meeting will be 2 p.m. Feb. 13. We will meet at the Austin Public Library for a program by Dustin Heckman and Jaimie Timm.
