Foster Homes 

  • Specific Roles/Duties for each committee member are working out well 
  • Planning 3-4 virtual foster home meetings throughout the year to go over protocol, procedures etc so everyone is on the same page.
  • Currently working on a bunny care info packet (in addition to our care video) as a handout upon onboarding
  • Considering if our info sessions are bringing in enough good foster home candidates to make it worth our while

Hotline

  • Everything is running smoothly on the hotline. We have had one new addition:
    • Tyler L.
  • This quarter has still been relatively quiet, so we have more than enough coverage. I don’t anticipate needing any new volunteers until we have volunteer departures (none upcoming that I know of).
  • No substantial changes to hotline procedure
