My most special thanks to our amazing Outreach Volunteers who offered their time and expertise to help with the Outreach this Saturday. Our intrepid and hard-working crew made a huge difference in the lives of bunnies and their caretakers, potential adopters and other visitors, fellow RAs, and ME!
We educated people, groomed 20 rabbits, and earned $125 cash donations (some will be mailed). A couple of bunnies had very long nails, three probably needed some vet attention, and all were adorable. Tiah tried bonding Salvadorre and Kia (visiting bunny, Virginia's former foster) and our paws are crossed that an adoption will place (the bunnies were adorable together and looked like a match), What else happened? We offered many tips to visitors on handling and diet, distributed RA literature, and generally talked rabbit for more than 3 hours. It was a blast!
Our crew consisted of:
Co-Leads:
Lorraine B
Tiah K
Kirk J
Pawdicurists/Groomers:
Elizabeth O
Cherrie C
Cyndy J
Juliet W (welcome new volunteer!)
Guest Rabbits:
Salvadorre (Tiah K's foster)
THANK YOU a million times and more! And thank you to Betty B who made many last-minute pleas for volunteer help. The day was a huge success thanks to the teamwork and care of a great bunch of RAs. Oh, and did I say THANK YOU? Yes, I did, but it bears repeating. THANK YOU!
Folks, Outreaches are a real chance for our group to shine and for RAs to enjoy playing with and helping OPR (Other People's Rabbits). Why not join the fun? It's never too soon to sign up to help.
