Dear Colleague,
Dr. Doug Haldeman and I are co-chairs of a community outreach activity at the APA convention in New Orleans, "Psychology Volunteers for New Orleans Animals and Their People."
We are hoping that we can enlist your support for our volunteer recruitment by sending a notice about this volunteer activity through your listserv.
Detailed information can be found at www.psychologyvolunteers4animals.info or by going to www.apa.org, then clicking on "complete convention details," next "special events" and "community outreach." "Psychology Volunteers for New Orleans Animals and Their People" is listed under "Other Volunteer Events and Opportunities.
Working with ARNO, the local animal rescue group in New Orleans, this project will offer three volunteer activities: helping at the feeding stations located throughout New Orleans; interacting with sheltered animals and helping with their rehabilitation; and offering workshops to ARNO staff and volunteers on "Building Resiliency."
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. We hope you can help us with this very worthwhile activity and we look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!
Best,
Mary Lou
