Thanks to Everyone who Helped Make Our 2009 Open House a Success!

On October 25 Wild Baby Rescue Center had its first Open House. Lisa and Reed McGowan and their daughter Samantha, who have been long time supporters donated their services for the day with their food concession stand, Jersey Wide Event Services, LLC., selling slushies, cotton candy, hot dogs, pop corn, pretzels, coffee, tea and hot chocolate.  All of their earnings as well as the supplies used were donated to Wild Baby Rescue Center.

Master Gardeners Janet Lyons-Fairbanks and Lisa were on hand to answer questions on wildlife friendly gardening.

Many donated baked goods and Joy Fernbacher manned the bake sale table.

Our Interns, Lauren Stickle and Lindsay Modugno, and volunteers, Kelly Morin, Jessie Vellekamp, Kim and Lori Bessemer, Ruth Campo,  Lori Martin, and Jenn Moore were all on hand to lend their support and give tours to our more than 100 guests. We would like to thank everyone who made our first Open House such a success.

Wild Baby Rescue Center gives a huge Thank-you to Team Depot and Blairstown troop #758.

About the Home Depot Event: Wild Baby Rescue Center, a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation center in Blairstown, that cares for New Jersey's injured and orphaned wildlife, has been selected by the Home Depot Team in Newton for a Home Depot volunteer project. On Saturday April 18, 2009 volunteers led by Renee Bochman supplied the man/woman power to build a fawn pen and fox/coyote den to house orphaned and injured fawns, fox kits and coyote pups. Volunteers from Hackettstown Home Depot joined Renee’s team.  “It was an extraordinary day with amazing people who truly care about New Jersey's wildlife. I don’t know how we will ever thank them enough” said Hope Davison, Executive Director.  “So many animals will profit from their work, both now and for years to come. We plan on naming the first male fawn “Homer Depot” for Team Depot who helped give a little fawns a second chance.”

About Cage-Building Day 2008: Thank-yous go to Irene McCormick, Bob Frail, Michelle Austin, Mike Sananman, Phil Davison, Elaine Dunn, Silvia Blelbtreu, Michele Lacey and Todd Wolenski, Chris Fraser for picking up and setting up the 6x8 dog run and RJ for picking up the donated 12 x12 dog run which we will make into a fox/coyote pen. Special thanks to Jason who designed and led the team in the building of the cages.

Heart-felt Thanks from our Executive Director, Hope!
