Trailblazer News Letter   
Our WinterTrailblazer was mailed the latter part of December.  If you've ever experienced completing a mass mailing, such as this Newsletter, you know it is a huge undertaking.  The Seniors at Good Samaritan School gladly lend their assistance with this project.  They are excellent volunteers who complete 5,000   Once the  Newsletters are printed, they are delivered to Good SAM.  The seniors insert the return envelopes into the Newsletters, affix the seals, apply mailing labels and sort them according to zip codes.  Again, we appreciate their help in this enormous task.  Thank you , Seniors!  If you did not receive a copy and would like one, please call the shelter at 419/658-2298
 
You can sign up to receive the newsletter on the website.  Go to the Home page and on the right column at the bottom is a place to add your email address. 
 
   
One of the jobs of  a volunteer is to greet people and answer the phone.

Volunteer Opportunities  
Join the DCHS Team!
  Volunteers can start their career with us at age 12. Through the years, youngsters and oldsters have given many hours of their time and worked side by side. As DCHS has grown over the years, so has the need for more volunteers. Volunteering is not just an individual effort.  If you can spare a couple hours a week would help.   Please call the shelter and volunteer.  419/658-2298
  
Wanted :  Board Members and Volunteers
You may not be able to do everything, but you can do something.  After all, every act of kindness counts!  Call the shelter at 419/658-2298 to find out what                                            you can do.  You may also email us by clicking on the link at saveapet@dchumane.org.

               

We also benefit from groups that come to help as well.  This a great opportunity to bring the family in
