This will be a slightly longer weekly update, so bear with me!
This Saturday, May 18th is your chance to do something totally and completely different while helping out. We’ve prepared Brand New Flyers to post all over the East Bay. We’ve done all the leg work: printed the flyers, sorted the brochures and picked targeted places to post. We’ve even sorted these places by neighborhood. All you need to do is stop by the office and pick up some brochures and flyers and go home and hit spots in your neighborhood. Stop by the office Saturday between 9:30 and 10:00 or between 11:00 and 11:30 and pick up flyers and pastries! (If you’d like to post flyers and don’t want to come to the office, that’s fine, too, just let me know!) If we haven’t met, this is also a great chance to say “hi”- I’ll be here handing out pastries and flyers and just generally being friendly!
In case I haven’t mentioned it in a day or two, it’s kitten season! We could really use more cat/kitten fosters, and as always, kitten food, especially dry. Contact Samantha (samantha@hopalong.org) if you’re interested in fostering.
Don’t forget the Maddie’s Adoption is coming up June 1st and 2nd. We’ve still got plenty of spots for dog handlers, transporters and set up/break down. This is a Really Fun Event!
And, we like to plan in advance: Hopalong is gearing up for our big 20th Anniversary Celebration October 12th. We have a number of event planning needs: helping with our silent auction, storytelling video promos, media outreach, event coordination, task-list tracking, RSVP management, etc. Speak up if you’re interested!
This week’s thank you’s go to Mobile Coordinators Steve, Casey, Andrew and Melinda for coming in on Saturday: we’re working on improving our mobile adoption process for everyone involved- volunteers, fosters and adopters. If you’re involved in dog mobiles, stay tuned for new and improved guidelines/training.
Thank you again for all of your hard work- it’s been a great week and it’s going to be a fabulous month.
