On Feb. 22, the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society (SGVHS) received a donation of $513 from Temple City High School's Helping Hands Organization (H2O). The club raised the money through selling dog treats and collecting donations of spare change. The H2O members present at the ceremony were President Codi Weisz (sophomore) and Vice President Megan Lee (freshman). They had presented the money in a check and gave it to Cindy Rigney, who is currently the director of the SGVHS. Helping Hands Organization is a brand new club. It was founded September 2015 by Weisz. She founded it with the idea of generating funds for four local nonprofit organizations. She believes the start of making the world a better place is to make your home a better place. Weisz would like to thank all those who had shown support to the SGVHS, and is inviting others to help her club fundraise for their next nonprofit organization, WINGS, a shelter for battered women and children. The members of the club use their own pocket money to buy the supplies for the bake SEE PAGE 3
