Hey Everyone!
We covered some important information during our last meeting, and we want to make sure that everyone is caught up!
Friday, October 15: We will be having a bake sale from 10am-2pm in front of the Warnell Forestry building. We would appreciate any and all help! Can you stop by and help us manage the table? How about providing some baked goods for the sale?If you’re interested in helping out, please follow click here and sign-up.
Wednesday, October 20: Go Green Alliance has asked us to join in on their Sustainability Day event. The event will last from 11am-3pm on the Tate West Lawn. We want to help bring a unique spin to this event and promote the idea of “recycling” shelter animals. We are working to bring adoptable/foster-ready dogs to the event. We will also be bringing dog and cat toys that we will make ourselves from various materials (socks, plastic bottles, etc). We also hope to do demonstrations at the Sustainability Day, showing pet owners how to make these types of recycled toys. Lastly, we will promoting all-natural pet food and animal care. Details are forthcoming, but please think about volunteering with us at this very special event. We would love your help! Once the final details are worked out with Go Green Alliance, we will send out a Google Spreadsheet link where you will be able to sign up with the times you are available to man the booth or help with the dogs. If you have any suggestions for additional Sustainability Day events, please email our secretary Amy Wright at awright8@uga.edu.
Saturday, October 23: We will be going to help out at Colbert Veterinary Hospital from 10am-2pm. Those who attend will be helping to deconstruct a shed in preparation for a concrete pour. The concrete will line the cages of the kennels, a much needed improvement at Colbert. Please click here to sign-up. (Need a ride? Write that on the sign up sheet and we will be more than willing to pick you up!)
Our next meeting will be held on October 21 at 7pm. Location will be announced as soon as possible. We will be making picture frames to help support local animal shelters! If you want to, you can bring any decorating materials that you would like: stickers, markers, paper, anything!
During the month of November, we will be having a pet canned food drive. Each year, we collect pet items such as canned food, bagged treats, collars, etc to give to a local shelter. Information about where people can drop off items, what items are accepted, and where the items will go will be announced closer to November. Ask professors if they would be willing to give extra credit for a certain number of items brought in by students!
