Thank you, Pam and Marsha! Folks- if you know of other shelters or schools with summer Humane Education programs such as described below, please help us connect! The Santa Cruz SPCA is having “summer camp” sessions for youth in elementary and junior high school grades, and has invited Mickaboo to come! The camp organizers are looking for a volunteer (or volunteers) to speak one day out of each week; the date and time are flexible based on the volunteer(s)’s schedules. Recommended speaking time is 45-60 minutes if possible – and of course the topic is about having birds as pets – what it means to be a responsible bird owner, and what makes birds a good choice or not for the situation at hand. So, if YOU wanted to volunteer – you could pick your hour sometime during the week of July 9 (for example). The camp is held at 2260 7th Avenue, Santa Cruz, at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. The camp runs M-F from 9 to 3 daily during the dates below; in parentheses are the grades that the kids are in (6 different sessions): June 18-22 (1-4grade) June 25-29 (5-8grade) July 9-13 (1-4grade) July 16-20 (5-8grade) July 30-Aug 3 (1-4grade) Aug 6-10 (5-8grade) On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 3:09 PM, Lee, Pamela A < pamela.a.lee@bankofamerica.com> wrote:
Thanks to Marsha Bassett (who lives in Santa Cruz, and LOVES doing this sort of thing). Marsha will be representing both Boo and Coo – so we’ll split any donations between the two organizations.
