Photo Credit: Don Kaiser By Kathleen Martin Helping Paws had its annual general meeting on April 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the office 465 Virginia street (Route 14). This meeting was open to all in­ terested parties, in fact, we were hoping that there were a few very interested parties who would like to learn about our organization and become active board members. What do members of our board do for HP? The first requirement is to be dedicated to helping the animals in our county by making policy decisions regarding their welfare. Many of our members are active in certain fields which deal directly with the animals, doing as much as their time permits. However, we are facing a far greater problem than that of filling board positions. Many of our service projects are in serious jeopardy of not being continued due to the lack of volunteers. As our community grows as well as its needs, we find ourselves not growing in ranks but rather losing some very good people.,We are losing them to inflationary conditions which are forcing many of our women into employment. Without these women who had free time to donate, we cannot exist as we have been. This condition must be rectified or our programs will have to change, drastically limiting fHeir effectiveness. In this time of greater need for our ser­ vices, it seems paradoxical to be forced into reducing our programs. We are trying desperately to save money towards opening a clinic-shelter facility, and now it looks as though in order to continue the programs we now have, we must make a board decision on whether to forget our shelter goals and pay people to continue work done previously by volunteers. However, even if we pay people, we aren't sure that these people will have the special attributes needed for humane work. We are not the only volunteer organization facing this dilemma. As our economic times change, people are being forced to make their precious time count in dollars and cents. Kinds of volunteer work needed: - follow up people for these areas: Harvard, Huntley, Cary, Algonquin, and Fox River Grove. These are field representatives who visit homes with newly adopted pets to cheek to see that all is well. Training provided. classroom program presentations: folks with creativity are needed to expand our classroom programs to children or to follow established programs. - typists, at home or in our office to address our many mailing pieces and to type our newsletters and other in­ formation sheets. Y fund raising chairperson and workers. Temporary foster carp home of dogs and cats; special homes for rehabilitating injured pets that when well, will become adoptable. - and, last but not least, a take charge person who can expand our areas of public relations, public speaking and organizational management to promote our many programs and coordinate our volunteer staff. A little time is all we need, if you have it to give.
