Howdy, Guys,
I’ve got some news, some opportunities, and TWO invitations!
First news- Scooter,
our longest term Hopalong animal, was adopted last week! Any of you who have
been to the office in the last TWO years have probably met him- and he has left
the building! Cats, staff and volunteers are still adjusting to his absence but
we’re all thrilled for him and his new family.
Next comes opportunities, we’re really looking for some
volunteers for this Saturday, the 8th. We need 3 more dog
handlers and a coordinator for the event happening. Timing is 3-5pm,
and it will be FUN! See next item!
First invitation: This Saturday, February 8th,
we’re having a “Share the Love” social at Wooden Duck, a furniture
store in Berkeley (1823 Eastshore
Hwy) and everyone is invited! 3-5pm, bring your well-behaved canines!
We’ve extended this invitation to EVERYONE in the Hopalong family including
past adopters and donors and, well, everyone. Staff will be there- I promise to
try not to talk about how excited I am about Spring Training for the WHOLE
time.
Second
Invitation: After much deliberation and coordination, we have created a facebook
group for volunteers and fosters. This is totally optional but is a way to
communicate and build community. We hope that it will be fun and productive. It
will be a learning curve (I had to join facebook to do this, so forgive me as I
learn!) Please check in with the group
guidelines before joining. Because it’s a “secret” group (only members can
see it exists), you’ll need to shoot me an email to get invited.
Thanks guys- I
look forward to seeing you as a volunteer or attendee on Saturday and on
facebook!
Best,
