BACKGROUND►
The Animal Services Department has a proud history of dedicated and hard working volunteers that are
integral to the Department's success. There are currently 180 volunteers that graciously provided over
19,000 hours of work in 2008. These volunteers are involved in the foster program,community outreach,
mobile adoptions,and other projects as assigned. Their good cheer and dedication imbue the Department
with a positive attitude, caring for the animals and helping the community. Given the financial constraints
the Department faces,the supplemental services provided by the volunteers are essential to carrying out the
mission of the Department.
The lunch for-the volunteers is scheduled for December 14 between 12:00—3:00.
Although the volunteers give of their time freely, it is recommended that this one-time expenditure be
approved to recognize their outstanding efforts and their importance to the Department's success.
