GREENVILLE Longtime Darke County Humane Society leader, Judith Francis, has stepped down from the Darke County Humane Society board after 20 years of service.
Francis made the difficult decision due to ongoing health issues. Through her volunteer efforts over the past 20 years, Francis helped grow the DCHS into a solid, sustainable organization.
