Karen just confirmed that the next animal clinic will be May 1-4 at Redby Industries Warehouse (same place as the last clinic). There will be 4-5 vets, some vet techs and possibly also a few others to help. Help will also be needed the day before for set-up and after for clean-up. More details will follow.
This clinic will be financed by the Lawson Family Fund, Animal Ark and The Rosebud Project will provide medical exams and vaccinations and expect to s/n about 350 animals!! A lot of help will be needed to make this successful. This is a great opportunity to help reduce overpopulation and to help animals in need.
This is from Karen regarding needed help.
May I really stress that we need reliable help for those jobs such as check in and checkout ,instrument cleaning, food preparation and kitchen management & animal recovery.
Other very important jobs are: cleaning cages, watering animals, exercising, washing crates, garbage, laundry, keeping restrooms clean and supplied with paper products, shopping as needed & hauling animals/pickup those who need rides. Also very important is set up on Wed. April 30 and warehouse and kitchen cleanup after clinic. Food will also be needed to feed about 20 people. Animal transport will be needed when returning to the Cities.
Lodging will be close to the clinic at St. Mary's Convent.
RLRR will be responsible for supplying people food. Does any one know where we can get food or pop/bottled water donations? We also need people to make food such as breads and bars (such as zucchini, banana, etc - you could freeze ahead of time if you make in batches) and premade main dishes that would travel well. We could also use a variety of other foods such as snacks and things to make simple meals and $$ for food.
Please let me know (Lynn) if you can go and areas where you are most interested in helping. We also need a lead coordinator on site ensuring that things run smoothly.
Thank you!
Lynn

NOTE: A friend of a friend took this photo at a family farm, not at Red Lake, but I love it and think of it as a goal.
