Time to get organized!

ACAPL is now collecting letters of interest and resumes from volunteers interested in becoming the ACAPL Volunteer Coordinator. I won't lie to you...this volunteer position will be completely unpaid and will probably work you till you're ready to drop. You're going to have to be in it because you love it.

We want somebody willing to oversee all of our volunteer operations. This doesn't mean you'll be running our events...it means you will coordinate the volunteers to make sure ACAPL events have adequate chairpeople and volunteers to make all our efforts successful. This will be a very organizational type job. We will expect you to be able to keep track of volunteers so we can use their skills and talents in the most advantageous ways possible.

You're going to have to love people and be able to work with a variety of personalities to achieve success in this position. With the help of someone like this who is motivated to make a difference, we think we can get our organization working efficiently to maximize opportunities, participate in community events, and raise money for the animals we love.

If you're interested, please submit a letter of interest explaining what you think you can do for the organization and how you can help us achieve our goals. Here's your chance...share your vision for ACAPL volunteers.

You can mail it to:
ACAPL Board of Directors
5970 Green Road
Ashtabula, Ohio 44004

...or you can hand deliver it to any of the Board members if you happen to see us out and about.

Volunteers needed

ACAPL would like to have a presence at Jefferson Days this weekend...but we need a volunteer or two. It's nothing hard...sit out in the sunshine and talk up the organization and the animals. If anybody is available to do this, please email me and let me know. Kate94651@hotmail.com

Thanks!

***unfortunately, no volunteers were available and ACAPL was unable to participate in this event***

Parvo at the shelter

According to the Business Relations Director

We are doing good with donations of bleach but we are running out of gloves. We have about 4-5 worker volunteers...that are doing a good job cleaning everything.

New Business Relations Director!

Many of you may not know it, but the old "Shelter Director" position was recently changed and, after a long interview process, a new person was hired as "Business Relations Director."

Kimberly Gilmore comes to us with business and nonprofit experience that we hope will serve her well within the Ashtabula County Animal Protective League. Her new job description contains duties focusing on improving all the business aspects of the ACAPL shelter.

If you're a volunteer, make sure you introduce yourself and I'm sure Kimberly will find something to keep you busy.

Welcome aboard Kimberly!

Sharma is going to rescue!

The lovely Terry Demag at Echo Dogs White Shepherd Rescue found a foster home for Sharma! If transport fills, she'll be sprung this Saturday! Thank you Terry!
