Well, compared to some I do very little at EHS. Mostly show up to events, schlep stuff around, set up sound systems, make the odd announcement, mind the merchandise booth, take a few pix for their Facebook page, help with set up and tear down.
There are many there for whom volunteering is almost a full time job. I really admire their dedication. In fact the Etobicoke Humane Society (unlike scandal-ridden Toronto Humane Society, with whom we have no affiliation) is 100% volunteer run - no one gets paid a cent to run it. We are a 100% no kill shelter as opposed to, say, Toronto Animal Services, which euthenises 6,000 animals a year. Btw, I heard you bumped into my SO today! Isn't she a sweetheart? Thanks for you comment and thanks to everyone else who took time to look and comment.
