In this presentation, you will learn about a local mission-based organization and how you can get involved. You will also learn more about how to work with others to help animals or create other positive changes in your community.

 

Our speaker is Janet Bogar, a Volunteer at Resale to the Rescue. Resale to the Rescue is an upscale, not for profit resale store that financially assists local animal welfare organizations. The organization’s goal is to reduce the number of animals euthanized by increasing spay/neuter of animals and increasing adoptions. Janet will explain the Resale to the Rescue model, including how people can get involved as donors, shoppers, or volunteers. Janet will also highlight the level of cooperation among non-profit organizations required to achieve the group’s mission and what keeps her engaged as a volunteer.

 

Speaker's Bio: Janet was born in Schenectady, NY.  She received a degree in Elementary Education/Fine Arts at New York’s Russell Sage College. When she moved to the South Bend area, she couldn't find a teaching job, so she did clerical work, then accounting, and finished her career as a Certified Public Accountant after earning her license as a CPA.

Janet’s affinity for animals drew her to volunteer at Resale to the Rescue upon retirement. She is proud to be part of an organization that has raised almost $1 million dollars for local animal welfare organizations.
