It was fun today, I got to work with one of the girls I got to know last year when she came as a visitor and I encouraged her to come out to volunteer and she did, and is now working at the Welcome Centre on Sundays. I usually don't see her, because I am in the barnyard, so it was really nice and special to work with her today, share some good laughs and compare notes. She is just a hoot and I loved her huge personality right from the start.
Lots of great people out today and after a rushed morning, a slow lunchtime and a busy afternoon it turned out to be a great day in the boutique sales wise and definitely donation wise at the gate. I made some good connections with some potential new volunteers and am mighty proud of myself for really enjoying that role and getting more comfortable in it. But I am great one on one, anything more is a group and freaks me out lol...oh well I hopefully get that under control one day too, as there is no rest for the wicked and I am already to work on organizing the Volunteer Appreciation Lunch for the fall.

Glad you had a good Open Day. It's so important to get people out there, to see the animals and understand how precious they are.
It sure is Louise, and nobody understands that better than you!
