UF Operation Catnip Service 4/15/12

Originally posted by Claire D. Page

Members of the Florida Chapter participated in the monthly Operation Catnip (OC) spay/neuter clinic. OC provides free spay/neuter, vaccines, and treatment for parasites to community cats from Alachua County, FL at no charge to the caregivers. Since 1998, OC has fixed over 31,000 cats. At monthly "spay days" over 200 cats are fixed in just hours thanks to a team of volunteers and the space for the clinic is donated by the UF College of Veterinary Medicine. Volunteers are assigned to a variety of tasks from check in to surgery preparation and recovery. This unique program gave our members an opportunity to gain some hands on experience in veterinary medicine. With many of our members pursuing medical degrees it gave them the chance to work first hand.

Members of the Florida Chapter participated or volunteered at the first annual FOG Jog. The Florida Organic Growers put on the 5K Run/Walk to help raise funds. The event was a fun and healthy way for members to help raise funds for Florida Organic Growers (FOG), a local non-profit which supports and promotes organic, sustainable agriculture and nutritional food in our community. It was a blast for members to help support the local community and give back while keeping healthy.

UF Pledge Class 34th St. Wall Painting Social 4/14/12

Originally posted by Claire D. Page

Members of the Florida Chapter's pledge class met up to take part in a tradition at the University of Florida. Located on 34th St. in Gainesville is a wall that lines the road where students all over the city come and paint advertisements, pictures, and even proposals. They decided to go and leave their mark on the 34th St. wall days before they became members. In the group there were some more talented graffiti artists than others, however our finished product is one to challenge some of the best artists. The wall gave them the opportunity to show their creative side and have fun outside with each other away from the stresses of school and finishing their AZ requirements as initiation drew ever so close.

Members of the Florida Chapter met up on the 5th to take part in an American tradition, baseball. Members wore their orange and blue from head to toe as they made their way into the stadium to cheer the Gators on against the LSU Tigers. Though we lost that night the Gators brought it back and won the game on the 6th making them 7-4 in the SEC. In the group members came and went since some had exams that night but all in all everyone had a blast and enjoyed watching our baseball team play. The game gave us the opportunity to see other events that go on during school besides homework and the fall football games.

The ducks were then observed until someone’s duck floated past the finish line...

The Florida Chapter had its second intramural sand volleyball game on Sunday. Although we would love to be out in the sunshine our time slot is at 7 PM. The members who showed up to play that night and were met by an impressive team that had played together since high school. Unfortunately, we had our first loss, but members showed great improvement upon the first game and are definitely looking forward to successive games. As for the game itself a few of our members served aces adding to our score!...
