Meghan commutes to Palos Park from her new house in Homewood
whenever she has a spare hour or so. This can be quite a challenge
for her, as she's in the Army Reserves and works full time as a
firefighter and paramedic. When she's not doing that, she's working
as a horseback riding trainer and feverishly pursuing her Master's
degree in Public Administration. Needless to say, her plate is
overflowing.
Megan heard about AFA while surfing online
one day and has been volunteering since early 2005. Her duties
include cleaning, feeding/watering and lifting things that no one
else can lift. She can also reach things most of us can't ;-) And
most recently Meghan assisted in an educational program.
She also has a beautiful horse! Horseback
riding is one of her favorite hobbies. So what's her favorite animal at
AFA? She loves the silver foxes and arctic fox, and cleaning them is her
main job at AFA when she has a chance to come out.
If you ask Megan what her favorite part of
volunteering with AFA is, she states, "Knowing that I am helping the
animals and that there is a place like AFA that keeps them safe." So
what's her least favorite part about volunteering? That she has no
consistent time to commit to volunteering. We at AFA second that
thought. Meghan is an awesome volunteer who puts 110% into everything
she does here. She jumped in with both feet from day one and hasn't
required much help along the way since then. It's our desire that she
succeeds in her goals, which we're confident she will, and eventually be
able to come back on a regular basis!
