Im extremely excited to say this will be my last day of work along with Oksana. After weeks of hard work we are finally arriving to the last day of work. I had an extraodinary time here and I have absolutely no regrets joining it. I was able to meet a number of amazing people and I hope to still see them around. However today we were able to complete a number of task. I myself made a number of catnip toys and other cat toys. This was different though because we were put in a whole new place. We usually work in a room besides the auditorium however we were moved to the hallway. We had two volunteers come in today, one being Symone who was also in the program.

Im super enthusiastic to say that we had a number of people drop in today. Two girl came in who came from Payton High School. They seemed very intelligent and worked extremely hard to make some supplies for the program. If you’re interested in taking part of the Teen-Drop in day program you should definably check it out.
The anti-cruelty also runs a number of other programs so if you’re interested in any type of way check out their website. Hopefully well have a few more volunteers next week. Today is also Betty’s last day at work so were down to only Oksana, Symone, and me!
Evelyn Ramirez: 11-26-15 Badging Update
Today was a blast we were able to make a bunch of pins for volunteers today. We made TWO boxes but it felt like nothing because we all worked together. Aqeelah actually came in today as well even though she’s no longer employed. We were able to hang out with a bunch of puppies as well. I held a total of three puppies today and it was amazing these puppies are only a few weeks old. Not only did we work hard but we were also rewarded for it.
We’ve been very lonely the past weeks however Betty’s friend Bryan came in today and helped us out. He’s a really cool guy and I hope next week well have more volunteers. If you’re interested and would like to receive some service learning hours come to the Teen-Drop off day every tuesday at the Anti- Cruelty Society. Not only that but it will also look great on college applications since you receive badges. Please come in next week it’ll be a blast because we bring in puppies!! If you have any questions feel free and email or call us! Until next time BYEE

Today is my last day here at The Anti-Cruelty Society (insert crying face here). Even though I will no longer be here Oksana, Symone, Evelyn and Betty will still be around until December so you can still come in and hang out with them! Sadly, Betty could not make it today and so she missed out on getting to play with two very adorable Rottweiler mix puppies. One of which you can see Symone holding in the picture on the left. Don’t forget as always to come in on Tuesdays and make some of the many fun DIY donations that we have to offer! Until next time I guess.
Evelyn Ramirez Badging Update: November 10
Today was an easy going day for us four girls. Betty was not able to make it in, however we still had a blast together. The Teen Drop in Day has become very quite but we still continue to work hard. We were all able to make a toy or at least begin a toy. Not only that but we also had a few special guest today. Sarah brought in two puppies who were named after german foods along with there siblings. They’re only about five weeks but they are certainly a pair of heartthrobs. There is no doubt that these two little guys will be adopted in no time. you should all Check out the Anti-Cruelty Society and read about the Teen Drop in Day and ways that it can benefit you.

Sadly no one has came in these past few weeks. However that does not stop us from having a great time while working.
Jolly was actually adopted she was an amazing puppy who Marie fostered.
We also meet some amazing elderly dogs. They were both Chihuahuas but they were adorable and very shy. They’re about 8 years you should all take some time to check them out, please keep in mind they are a bonded couple.
Please take some time to check out the teen drop in days! We’ve been a bit lonely thank you and until next time.

TEEN DROP IN DAY OCTOBER 6TH
The Anti Cruelty Society’s Teen Drop In Day was slow today, only having one person come in to get their service learning waiver signed. It could be said that today was a slow day, but we managed to go help the new Exploring The Link group. We also tidied up the things in our crafts bin. Aqeelah, Oksana, and I were the only ones to be able to make it today so it was a small group. The weather was unusually nice today, nice going Chicago.
I remember when I began Exploring The Link, I was so excited. It seemed like it was forever and four years ago that I began that program. That exact program was the gateway to all the opportunities I have been blessed with thus far. The interview ran smoothly and my mentors, Katie-Sue and Jenny, are no longer here but I thank them with everything I have. Sarah and Mary are the new mentors and today they brought us in to play with the puppies. Although we didn’t have teens drop in, we had a nostalgic day filled with cute puppies.
