If you know Jonell then you know that she has a special place in her heart for helping animals. That’s why it’s not surprising that she decided to use her Volunteer Time Off (VTO) to help the caring folks at Lisa Parker’s Puppies.
Paws for Celebration
On April 21st, Lisa Parker’s Puppies hosted the Paws for Celebration at the La Plata County Fairgrounds. This is one of their biggest fundraisers of the year and it helps rescue, foster and find permanent loving homes for abandoned dogs and puppies in La Plata County and the rural Four Corners, while also raising awareness for spay and neuter and the proper stewardship of animals.
Event coordinating is one of the many talents that Jonell has, so this was a great volunteer opportunity for her to use her skills for a wonderful cause. Lisa and Jonell have known each other from when Jo was the Marketing Coordinator at the La Plata County Humane Society. Lisa was more than happy to have Jonell’s expertise on hand since she knew Jo had years of experience with fundraisers just like the one she was about to host.
Creating signs, organizing the room layout, handling auction items, and managing decorations were just some of the tasks that Jonell assisted with. Since some of the volunteers came down with the stomach bug that’s been floating around, they were a little short-handed for the night of the event. Of course, Jonell couldn’t say no to helping out some more! After spending the whole day setting up she came back that night to help with welcoming guests and cashiering at the front. She was able to see a lot of familiar faces and enjoyed the food that was provided by Zia’s and drinks donated by Star Liquors and Ska Brewing. Most importantly, she was able to cuddle and love on some puppies!
