Wednesday Updates!

Hi All,

Hope you’re having a great  week and enjoying the sun!

Thank you everyone for all of your contributions this week!Thanks to the awesome group who came out last week to learn how to screen dog adoption applications- what a great group! Thanks to the cat crew for being flexible with a little last minute hoopla at the event Saturday, and for the dog crew for putting on a nice event. Adoptions are going really well- this is all thanks to all of your hard work and dedication. We also said a sad goodbye to longtime volunteer Christine who has come in weekly to socialize cats and send thank you letters to our donors. Tears were shed. We wish her the best of luck in her move.

For those of you not in the facebook group, Coco the longterm office cat was adopted from a site last week- very exciting!

We have a lot of varied opportunities coming up. I’ve put them all, along with details, on the blog. There are weekend and weekday opportunities including regular opportunities at the office and even something in Marin! Also, for those of you who like to plan ahead, mark your calendars! The Maddie’s Adoptathon (all hands on deck, for those of you who haven’t been there, and even those who have) is Saturday, May 31st and Sunday, June 1st. It’s not too early to sign up! After that, the EBSPCA Adoptathon is Saturday, July 19th. Both of these events will need everything: dog handlers, dog coordinators, cat people- coordinators and assistants and floaters and, well, everything! They’re fun events! Also save the date of May 10th for a Skip-a-Thon. If you don’t know what that is, well, neither do I, but it sounds really fun!

For those of you that have or know kids, stop by Alameda See Spot Run this Saturday at 1pm for a free educational event! Details here.

Thanks again, for all of your hard work!

Best,
