Urgent Need for Event Volunteers

Do you enjoy attending local events? Do you feel comfortable talking with a variety of people? If you do, and you have some time to spare – the Finger Lakes SPCA needs your help.  Our SPCA, serving Steuben County, needs to participate in as many local events as possible. Our booth at these events hands out information pamphlets, shares pictures and information about the dogs and cats available for adoption at the shelter on Route 54, collects very important donations and sells our T-shirts, hats, etc. Our current volunteers for event duties are stretched to the limit during the busy summer and fall Finger Lakes seasons.  If you would enjoy “manning our table” for a few hours at upcoming events please call Mary Moyer at 583-2510 or email at moyers1@wildblue.net . There is an immediate need for coverage for the upcoming Bath Fair Aug.12-17 and the Hammondsport Crafts Festival Aug.16-17. Check out our website at www.fingerlakesspca.org for more information.
