The Buckeye House Rabbit Society has another fun event coming up!

We will be joining other rescue groups at the Medina County Adoptathon on Saturday, May 6, at the Medina Community Center (located at the Medina County Fairgrounds, 735 Lafayette Road, Medina).

We will need volunteers to help set up, sit at our information table, transport our adoptable bunnies to and from the event, and help copy BHRS mini-packet information in the weeks before the event. If you can help out, please let me know!  I am hoping to have at least 2-3 people man the table on each shift. The shifts are as follows:

9:30 am to 12:30 p.m. (event starts at 10 a.m., so we'll need to get there a little early to set up)

12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (event ends at 3 p.m., will need someone to help pack up)

If you can come for a couple hours, but need to come at a different time, let me know. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! Sue Gapinski (calliecat9@aol.com)
