Volunteering @ Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter

The gang with "Lulu".

On Saturday, April 13th, members of AFT Local 1904 helped out at the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter and got to meet some of the cute guests waiting for their forever homes. 

Many thanks to Susan Hagen, Louise Davies, Liz Blades, Jennifer Higgins and Naomi Liebler for assisting the shelter with preparing for its annual tricky tray fundraiser and washing litter pans. 

There is still time to help the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter by contributing the AFT Local 1904 donation drive. Spring brings many litters of feral kittens and the shelter is preparing to receive them. Please help us "Make A Difference Every Day" by purchasing some supplies. The drive ends April 30th.
