Coastal Pet Rescue Recognizes Outstanding Volunteers
(Savannah, GA) - April 17, 2007
For Coastal Pet Rescue volunteers, tail wags and wet, sloppy kisses are usually more than enough reward for tireless dedication to a mounting problem in our community.
But volunteers who demonstrated exceptional commitment to helping homeless pets throughout 2006 received special recognition this week as part of National Volunteer Recognition Week.
“Our volunteers give so much of themselves to our cause,” says Coastal Pet Rescue founder and president, Lisa Scarbrough. “This is our chance to let them know the work they do is greatly appreciated.”
Presidential Handshake Awards were presented to 22 volunteers: Suzanne Anderson-Kern, Jean Baker, Jackie Blazier, Kelly Cillo, Pat Ehsanipoor, Ray Emerson, Kathy Emerson, Heather Erwin, Todd Erwin, Brenda Gibbons, April Hanson, Diana Knight, Tim Knight, Sherry Montgomery, David Moreland, Maari Olsen, Sarah Osborn, Bud Rosser, Pat Uhl, Chris Uhl, Lori Wechsler, and Denise Winner-McKenzie.
Coastal Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused and neglected dogs and cats in Savannah and surrounding areas. Founded in February 2003, Coastal Pet Rescue changes the lives of homeless pets in Chatham, Bryan and Effingham Counties through its foster home program and small capacity shelter, Camp Pawsawhile Retreat.
