During the April 4 Waseca Council meeting, Furry Friends of Waseca presented two separate checks totaling nearly $11,000.
When the group’s fiscal agent dissolved, it had $9,775.26 leftover in funds, which was the first check they presented to the city; it was followed by another for $1,104.48, an amount the group raised at a March 24 burger and fish fry at the Waseca American Legion.
Tom Hindt, a member of the group, said that Jeanne Sexton and Michelle Oswald were the reason the dog park on the southern shores of Clear Lake came to fruition. “If it weren’t for them, it would be a mere thought in someone’s head,” he said. “Once they have a clear direction…stay out of their way.”
Moving forward, Furry Friends plans to continue presenting checks to the city after each of its fundraisers.
