Rose DiMeo
Vice Chairperson
Rose has been an attorney for 35 years, the majority of which has been in the field of civil defense litigation. She is a graduate of Villanova Law School. Rose and her children have volunteered at animal shelters, fostered dogs, and been involved in socializing guide dogs. She has shared her home with many furry rescues in years past. Her love of nature has drawn her to visiting and exploring the National Parks: Yellowstone, Yosemite, Acadia, Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Mount Ranier, to name a few.
The hard work, devotion, struggles and victories of Cedar Run’s staff and volunteers in rescuing and rehabilitating injured animals in need, and in nursing orphaned wildlife , with the mission of returning them to their natural habitat, but also providing a caring, permanent home to those who are not well enough to return to the wild, had me hooked on their mission from day one.
Rose is honored and privileged to be part of the Cedar Run “family” and to contribute her skills and time to this worthwhile mission of wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and outreach education. Thank you Cedar Run for the opportunity!
