AGENDA
New year; new structure:
- Karol will be stepping down from Secretary role
- Looking to create new positions; need to define what the roles will be
- Potential roles will be Social Media Manager Event Coordinator, and Grant Writer

- Event Coordinator will help with physical events, and organize/ execute fundraising efforts
- Grant writer will search and apply to grants on behalf of rescue and follow up with any needed requests
- The rest of the Board positions will stay the same
RESCUE will be increasing adoption prices:
The decision is not taken lightly but utilities and vet prices have increased year after year and we keep taking the loss. Increasing prize will alleviate some of the continued losses; especially with cats.
- Adoption fees for puppies from 0- 3 years will be $500.00
- Dogs 4 years old to 8 years old will be $450.00
- Dogs 9 years old and older will be $400 (This prize is being evaluated and can depend on health conditions/breed of dog)
- All kittens from 0- 1 year old be $250
- All adult cats 1 year and older will be $200
