[Chat] House Rabbit Society celebrates 20 years!

[Emil Volcheck]

Hello, neighbors,

Many of you know that my wife Kathleen is involved in rabbit
rescue.  She founded the Maryland-DC-NoVA Chapter of
the House Rabbit Society fourteen years ago, right here in
Charles Village.  They have rescued close to 1000 rabbits.

You may not know that Kathleen serves as President
of the national House Rabbit Society.  The HRS has
headquarters in Richmond, CA, with over 20 chapters
in the US and international chapters in Canada and Italy.
(She does this on top of her day job at Hopkins as
a breast cancer research specialist.)

This year, the HRS celebrates its 20th anniversary.
They have rescued over 20,000 rabbits throughout
the US since they began.  This Sunday, the local
chapter is celebrating the national's 20th anniversary.
Check out their website:

If you see Kathleen, congratulate her on what her
organization has done to improve the lives of so
many rabbits, and of their people too!
