Elsie Hewling (Treasurer)

I have spent my career in many fields; Real Estate, raising and caring for exotic birds and animals, which resulted in ownership of a pet store in the Beaverton Oregon area, to sales and marketing specialty food items throughout the United States for the last 25 years, until my retirement five years ago.  My husband and I moved to the Coachella Valley in 2004, making this our haven for the retirement years.  I have been actively involved in animal related charities since retiring because our companion pets are dear to my heart....they need our voice and our support, and I am dedicated to working on projects and fundraising that will ensure all critters, big and small, have the best care possible, in exchange for their devotion and love to all of us!
