NEWS AND EVENTSHSPC Events 5/30/05
Saturday June 4 - Whiskers at the Mall - if you can help, contact Chris at Ellischris@uams.edu
Saturday June 4 - Dog Wash at Trinity. We need lots of help; we especially need help at 8:30, when we are setting up. It is a lot of work for the two of us.
John and I will be out of town for the June 18 Dog Wash at Kroger. We need someone to take over for us. We will get all the equipment to you before we go. If you can help set up, etc, that will be great. We will get the signs up before we leave. Please let me know if you can help with this - it's really not difficult.
Annual Picnic - Our annual meeting/picnic will be SundayJune 5 at 1PM at Burns Park. Bring a lunch--drinks will be provided. Bring your kids, dogs... help elect officers. Come on out and meet other volunteers. I'll have directions later in the wwek.
Wednesday June 8 - Take dogs to the Travelers' game. Contact John Schissel if you are interested: jschissel@sourceincusa.com
Sunday June 12 - Birthday party at the shelter Need help with that, too.
Kroger Cards - I just got 50 more Kroger cards; they are at the shelter, and some will be at the store, if you know any one who wants one.
We could use some help with lawn care. We lost the underwriter for the lawn service, so we need to do it ourselves, probably every two weeks. Perhaps a few people could work out a rotating schedule. Call Kay at the shelter to set up a schedule.
Puppy Love---We still need more volunteers for Puppy Love. Christina would like to schedule more visits. This is something you can do with your kids! You can contact Christina for more information at: ramseyresources@aol.com Her phone # is 766-6662.
Day Planner - If you want to have your pets picture in our 2006 Dayplanner, let me know and I will send you a page purchase form We are limiting the number of pages, so it will be first come; last year we had to turn folks away! We also have informationhere on the Warm Hearts website at Community Dayplanner. The DEADLINE is 6/1 - Please get your application/pictures in by Wednesday!
We need Foster Homes - We are still looking for some short-term fosters for some of our animals that would benefit from time away from the shelter (who wouldnt). Some time spent in a loving home might increase confidence and social skills, and make them more adoptable. If you are interested, or have any questions, let me know.
There will be an EARS Workshop on June 25 in NLR. The cost is $85, but if five or more go as a group, it is $70. --Emergency Animal Rescue Service . This is training on what to do in a disaster.
HSPC has a Disaster Plan, and will be looking for people to be available to implement it in an emergency. This training is not mandatory, but should be helpful to people seriously interested in disaster/emergency efforts. If you are interested, I will get the form to you. Registration ends 6/11.It is not held in LR very often.
