Calaveras Humane Society Adds New Thrift Store

The Calaveras Humane Society will be celebrating the grand opening of its new thrift store this Friday beginning at 10am.

The 2,400-square-foot thrift store is located in Arnold between Big Trees Market and Roundtable Pizza.

The Calaveras Humane Society Thrift Store Manager, Jenni Roland, was Wednesday's KVML "Newsmaker of the Day".

Roland has been with the Humane Society for two years. Roland's most recent retail experience was as the owner of Highland Books in Arnold.

The reason that the Calaveras Humane Society decided to add the thrift store was to give a permanent spot for revenue. Roland adds that they have monitored the successful results of Tuolumne County's thrift store. 

The year-round, thrift store hours are from Tuesday through Saturdays from 10am - 5pm and Sundays from Noon - 4pm.

The Friday grand opening will include a 10am ribbon cutting, cake, drawings for gift certificates, plus local celebrities and community leaders will be on hand.

For more information call (209) 795 - GIVE.

The "Newsmaker of the Day" is heard each weekday morning on AM 1450 KVML at 6:47, 7:47 and 8:47am.
