Volunteer Spotlight Dedicated volunteers keep non-profits like The Haven running smoothly. They also inspire others to become volunteers. Besides her passion for and previous experience with animal rescue and welfare aligning with The Haven’s mission to save homeless animals and lower euthanasia rates, Carolyn Speed said volunteer dedication was why she began volunteering for The Haven. For at least 15 years, Carolyn has worked both on-site and remotely. She writes press releases and articles, helps with public relations, and has done various tasks for many events, including MMOR. She enjoys doing what she can wherever she’s needed. “Volunteering is a wonderful way to share your talent, and it benefits you as well as the organization,” Carolyn said. “The best part about volunteering is knowing that I am doing my share in saving homeless animals and contributing to The Haven’s mission.”
ARTISTS 4 PAWS Artists4Paws was a wonderful art show at the Eastern Shore Art Center and an online auction during the month of August. The very successful event was a benefit for The Haven, which has taken in a tremendous number of homeless animals recently. The art was created and donated by local professional artists and students of art center classes. Even a puppy, Lucky Ducky, made some cute paw print art. Co-Chair Nancy Raia, Community Outreach Director for the art center, organized the event to honor her late friend, Susan Wright, who volunteered at the center for six years and also loved her Haven kitties. Co-Chair was well-known news anchor Rose Ann Haven from WKRG, a sponsor of the event. “We are completely blown away at the support from many people and organizations for Artists4Paws. To see the community unite for the animals in such a huge way represents how we can all make a difference when working together,” said Michael Graham, Executive Director of The Haven. “Artists4Paws brought in muchneeded funding for homeless animals, for which we are so grateful. It also greatly increased our visibility and made hundreds of new friends for The Haven. Thank you to everyone involved.”
