On Friday night we will be presenting a couple of workshops for attendees. There will be a Disaster Preparedness workshop presented by F.E.R.R.E.T. It is designed to help shelter operators and others prepare a disaster plan for your shelter. Considerations include: 1. To go or to stay? Evacuate or shelter-in-place? 2. What disasters am I most likely to experience? 3. Who ya gonna call? Dr. Jerry Murray will be presenting a workshop on Ferret first aid for shelter operators and other interested parties. He will discuss the things you can prepare for and the items you should have on hand. First aid kits will be presented. Additionally, he will answer questions about concerns you may have. BONUS: Alpha-trak has donated a glucometer to be awarded to one lucky shelter. You must attend the First Aid workshop to be eligible. I am trying to get a count on attendance, so please let me know if you are planning to attend either of these workshops. A light dinner is provided, thanks to a grant from PetsMart Charities. -- Renee Downs "Eventually we will realize that if we destroy the ecosystem we destroy ourselves."
