Bob Korte, Vice President
CAHS Vice President
Bob grew up in the UP in Oscoda along with several other places. He has been coming to Thumb Lake (Lake Louise) for the past 46 years and for the past eight years Bob and his wife, Sue, have lived half the year on Thumb Lake. They recently purchased a house in Boyne City which they stay at occasionally during the winter. Bob loves to fly fish in his spare time. Bob has experience with non-profit boards both in a professional capacity and as a volunteer board member which has provided him with an understanding of boards and the work that they strive to accomplish. Bob became familiar with the Charlevoix Humane Society being a volunteer on the Fundraising Committee. He has a sincere belief in the mission of CAHS and hopes that his experience with other non-profit boards can be of practical use. Bob and Sue have a three-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter and their son and daughter-in-law are expecting twins in May. They also have two dogs, Walter, and Hugo, and have adopted several cats in the past from various Human Society shelters. Bob is presently on the board for the Lake Louise Christian Community Summer Camp which provides him with an opportunity to serve the youth in our area and CAHS provides him with an opportunity to serve the welfare of the animals in our area as well.
Caren and her husband, Tom, have lived up North for almost six years. She enjoys snowshoeing in the winter and walking/hiking in the summer. She is also an avid reader and loves the outdoors. Caren and Tom have two children. Heather, who lives in Arizona and is a kindergarten teacher and their son, Mathew, lives downstate and is in I.T. Her love for animals has been a big thing since childhood and after retiring from the business world, she wanted to get involved with an organization that helped animals. So, after moving up North, Caren reached out to help the Charlevoix Area Humane Society by making a difference with her organizational skills and her commitment to the organization grew from there.
Alice Marshall
Alice has lived in northern Michigan for 27 years. Alice has always liked the outdoors, snowmobiling, keeping physically active and making friends. She was married to Bob for 43 years and he was the one that insisted they travel. Together they traveled to almost every state in the United States as well as New Zealand. They had two children; a daughter Terry Lynn and their son Daniel, who has two sons and one granddaughter as well as a stepdaughter who has two daughters, five grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She presently has two cats: Buffy (11) and Miss Kitty (3). Alice loves to read and in her younger days was the official party planner in the neighborhood. Alice has been a board member with the Charlevoix Area Humane Society for 17 years and the chairperson on the Fundraising Committee for many of those years. Since she has been involved with the Charlevoix Area Humane Society she has met and become friends with a lot of people in the area, which is very helpful when being involved with fundraising for an organization.
