Meet Caitlin

Caitlan was the spotlight volunteer for the month of september 2008. 

Caitlin's autobiography:
 
I am a resident of Bethlehem, PA and I am going into my freshman year of high school. Since I am a pet owner I wanted to fulfill my community service somewhere where animals were involved. Therefore, I have been volunteering at Gress Mountain Ranch. Since I have been going to the ranch I have had the opportunity to learn many new ways to care for the loving animals there. I recommend volunteering at Gress Mountain Ranch if you love animals, volunteering, or just want to do something for the community. I assure you that by volunteering at Gress Mountain Ranch you will make many friends, both human and animal alike.

Below 08-02-08-The Gress Annual Yard Sale-where both Caitlin (left) and Julia, are taking some of the "girl scouts" for a donkey cart ride! Cecely & JoJo, the donkeys, did learn that donkey cart rides can be FUN! All the young girls really enjoyed that day, thanks to both Caitlin and Julia!  At this time, I acknowledge both of you lovely young ladies, changing the lives of these animals & people, with your "giving and caring" actions that bring such value to all these experiences!

 Below, Miss Caitlin, who has come on a short term basis to volunteer and give back to the animals. However, in Caitlin's time at The Gress Mountain Ranch, she has extended herself with both lifting up of both people & animals. Here, Caitlin  is with Sean, a new junior volunteer, just getting to know the animals. They are, helping hold the donkeys-- Cecely & JoJo while Jim Kindred, our farrier, trims  the donkey's hooves,  Caitlin, is most comfortable with "garderning" and that is her "element."  Cailtin, has done nice work with the flowers, and the "mulch" area. Cailtin, too has assisted Kathryn & Ben, at the "annual" yard sale, and the Quakertown Fair. Caitlin has been very flexible with multiple tasks related to handling many of the animals at high PR events!
