cepted a generous donation from
the Sutton Trust.

bers of the Florence Area Hu-
mane Society, now known as the
Oregon Coast Humane Society.
Jo Ann Sutton is still in com-
munication with shelter mem-
bers and staff and said she was
pleased to contribute to the work
being done at OCHS.
The trust, formed in the cou-
ple’s name, gifted $1,186,768 to
