Mews & News for Volunteers
Aloha Volunteers,

You are a driving force behind our mission: dog walkers, off-site adoption specialists, educators, clinic volunteers, cat caregivers, foster families, advocates and so much more. 

Each month nearly 300 volunteers give their time at our Moili'ili campus with hundreds more providing foster care, visiting hospitals, schools and spreading the joy of the human-animal bond with each individual they reach.

In the spirit of honoring your work and bringing you closer to the mission of the Humane Society, we are excited to resume "Talk for the Animals"-- a series of educational/interactive discussions.

"Spiritual Healing and Communicating with our Pets"
Featuring two of Oahu's premier intuitive healers: 
Hiroko Colley and Staton Ann Mineshima

Wednesday, May 15 
5:30 pm- Light refreshments provided.  
Feel free to bring a dish to share.
6 to 7 pm- Presentation

RSVP today for this first of our quarterly series exclusively for volunteers.

  

Sincerely,

nataliesig  

Natalie Lukashevsky 

Volunteer Outreach Coordinator
