I've left a VM for the reporter. Along with talking about the ban, I'd like to share how Mickaboo is constantly having to struggle to raise all the money and recruit all the volunteers it takes to do this work. A couple of assumptions/questions I'd appreciate having info on- -Our income is holding steady but expenses are going up- true? Or are donations down? -Our volunteer involvement is holding steady or growing- true? Or are we seeing any downward trend? -How many volunteers do we have? (Including those active this year, let's say.) -How many foster homes do we currently have fostering the ~350 birds? -What is our 'recidivism' rate for returned birds? (to date, I know it's increasing) Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Elizabeth Y www.RescueReport.org
