We are Thomasville Humane

We've had a schedule change for this week's Rotary meeting.

On Thursday, fellow Rotarian and Thomasville Humane executive director Chandler Giddes will give a presentation on all things Thomasville Humane. Chandler will highlight successes of 2024-2025 and programming for the remainder of this calendar year.

Be sure to bring your phone (and keep it silenced!) for an interactive game Chandler will include in his presentation.
