I love hearing from adopters that their story has a very happy ending. We have an email and photo we received from one of the cockatiel adopters. There are other such happy endings, and it is because of a dedicated team of volunteers who dedicate their spare time to helping birds find new homes.

We are seeking a new director for the Adopt-A-Bird Program. Our current director has expressed a desire to retire from the program so we need someone on board to begin their training. This can be a very time intensive position and anyone volunteering must be approved by the Board of Directors. Also, an Adopt-A-Bird training for general volunteers will be held in November of this year. Members will be advised of the date.

Voting is the next big step we must address. Get your officer nominations in to the Secretary. Remember, all voting is done by mail, you do not need to attend the December meeting to vote.

We are always looking for volunteers, and this club can’t survive without you, the volunteers.
