INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — The Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County is seeking volunteers to help out at Cause for Paws 2012. The event takes place over two days – March 29 for the Preview Party and March 30 for the Benefit Auction, both this year at the Vero Beach Museum of Art.
A Volunteer Kickoff Party will be held on Thursday, Dec. 1 at the Shelter on 77th Street at both 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. The agenda will be the same at both sessions, and will last about an hour.
At the 8:30 a.m. session there will be coffee and Danish, and at the 4 p.m. session there will be wine and cheese.
Whichever session you choose to attend, you will learn about the plans for 2012, pick up acquisition materials (if appropriate), and review the possible volunteer jobs from acquisitions, invitations, set up, checkout and clean up, and everything in between.
A number of changes planned for 2012 will be outlined, including:
• A new handheld electronic wireless bidding system called Bid Pal
• New “characters” – fancy dogs & cats to indicate silent auction item categories
• Music by Old Barber Bridge
To RSVP, or if you are unable to attend on Dec. 1, but would be able to help, please call Brittany at (772) 388-3331 ext. 12.
