Volunteer Appreciation Party Feb 2019

 

This was an image from the Big Cat Briefing that I do daily for our Alexa app and for our website.  Mary Lou Geis  is talking with Howie and she’s most senior volunteer.  She’s been here 20 years.  This was the first party that was planned and hosted by our new Volunteer Appreciation Team.  Judging by the smiles and applause, I think the volunteers really liked this new approach.  I wasn’t sure it would go over well, because Jamie and I were handing off the appreciating to a team, instead of it being a party that she and I have to plan, host and clean up after four times a year.  Most of that falls to Jamie and she’s got so much to do that planning parties and putting on a happy face to volunteers has become a huge burden.  

 

While we are both thankful for the 115 volunteers who do all of the animal care, both of us just can’t wait to pass our bill and see the numbers of big cats being bred for lives of abuse plummet.

 

Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

 

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
