Their tasks ranged from animal care and fundraising to working at the Greenwood Thrift Store and recently launched Green- wood Consignment Gallery, both at 3600 Arapahoe Ave. in Boulder The stores are new to the 8,400-square-foot building although the thrift store has been around for seven years. The consignment store is accepting finer home furnishings, home decor, art and jewelry, according to Roseann Ashley, retail manager. People who bring in items that will be priced at more than $100 will receive 60 percent of the sale; otherwise it’s a 50-50 split. With an operating budget of more than $1 million, the Greenwood center relies on grants, fundraising events and donations in addition to the net profit from the thrift store and con- signments. Additional funds come from annual contracts with the city Longmont for $25,000 and the city of Boulder for $10,000. “They pay us so they can always bring animals in,” Tyler said. Greenwood Center got its start in 1983 through the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. Two years later the family and friends of Natalie Gneiser, who was killed while trying to rescue an injured dog on a highway, donated funds to the cause. The center incorporated in 1993, and its name was changed from Nata- lie Gneiser Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to Greenwood Wildlife Reha- bilitation Center after a raccoon that came to be called Greenwood by the center was rehabilitated after a run- in with a chimney fire. Green wood doesn’t burn, Tyler said. Greenwood has been rehabilitating wildlife for 25 years and is one of the largest wildlife centers of its kind along the Front Range. 10A 10A10A
