AS PROMISED!

Saturdays are volunteer work days at the Refuge. If we are lucky, particularly this spring, the rain will subside long enough for us to spend time with our beloved donkeys. Today the forecast was for rain and the weatherperson was right. Wet donkeys and wet volunteers. Even though donkey brushing was not to be, today was a great day to be at the Refuge. Of course, we are all in Donkey Days mode so our chores centered around preparation for our major fundraising event. Brand new T-shirts were folded, sponsorship packages assembled, the walls in Sady's Barn were washed down and the paper mâché ball for the Lollipop Tree game was started, among other things accomplished. Speaking of Volunteers and Donkey Days - those of us who were at the Refuge today received our brand new RED T-SHIRTS that we get for volunteering at Donkey Days. This year there are ladies Ts and tank tops. Veeerrry nice. There are only two ways to get a red T-shirt - volunteer at Donkey Days, or purchase a $25 membership to the Refuge at Donkey Days, and for an extra $15 you get a red T-shirt. Wait until you see them! I am getting so excited about Donkey Days. This year, besides great food and entertainment, we are pleased to unveil our Learning Center and it promises to have lots of interesting displays and information. Of course, the highlight of the day is our wonderful donkeys. Always! Thanks to Laura, Jill, Dalelyn, Tami, Elaine, Bailey and of course Shirley, Rob and Sean for another great day.
