Franny Tachino
Born and raised on a U.S. military base in Okinawa, Japan, Franny Tachino brings a uniquely valuable perspective and spirit to her work at Treasure Hounds. Since joining as a volunteer in February 2024, she has committed to a five-hour shift every Saturday, consistently impressing both customers and fellow volunteers.
Customers are drawn to Franny’s warm, kind-hearted demeanor, but those who work alongside her know she’s much more than a friendly face—she’s a dedicated and diligent team member who steps up without being asked. Her meticulous attention to detail elevates everything she touches.
Franny records our staff meeting notes with clarity and precision, creating a reliable reference for the future. In fact, her own training notes were so thorough and helpful that our Volunteer Trainer adopted them as a standard resource. She also manages all supply orders for the store, ensuring we stay well-stocked and organized.
This month, we are proud to recognize Franny’s outstanding contributions by naming her Assistant Manager of Treasure Hounds. We’re so lucky to have Franny on our team. She embodies the heart of Treasure Hounds, where 100% of proceeds go to support the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor.
