I have been back in hospital for a couple of days of follow-up checks, all positive, but was unable to write any updates with no news to report, from my end at least. Of course that doesn't mean nothing was going on elsewhere as there are always many and various jobs to be done, and thankfully staff and volunteers to do them.
Still, there is one volunteer slot that we really need to fill and very soon. That is as Events Organiser, with this year's Gala Dinner a priority. If you are available and have experience in this field, please email me at sally@hongkongdogrescue.com. The gala event will take place in September and we will need a commitment to being available, and in Hong Kong, on the day itself as well as the very busy and important run-up weeks.
The other very important issue right now is the purchase of a new HKDR van, the current one having become so unreliable that it is constantly being repaired. A van is vital to our operation, so we are asking for contributions from supporters to allow us to buy a new one. We have identified the Toyota Hiace as being the most suitable, but it comes with a price tag of around $310,000 unless we are able to negotiate a discount (having had no luck so far). If you or your company are willing to sponsor all or a large part of the cost, you can have your name on the side of the van just as the sponsor of our current van did. Again you can email me for details.
I have been catching up this morning so this post is short, but come back tomorrow for dog-related news.
