Rebecca LeMaster Vet Tech ~Volunteer's Coordinator
|
Rebecca has been with OPR since 1999 & is also the
Vice President of the OSU PVMA. Rebecca
meticulously cleans primate enclosures, techs with our
veterinarians during routine exams or emergency
medical procedures, and recruits new volunteers for
OPR! Her longevity & dependability, her people skills,
her natural ability with the primates and her dedication
to the OPR mission make her an invaluable asset to our
program.
Thank you Rebecca for cheerfully taking late night
emergency calls from the sanctuary, for teching on a
moments notice, and for showing up to clean even
when it's snowing, raining &/or windy! Thank you for
getting muddy, gooey, stinky & still smiling! And thank
you for not eating up all of the monkey's trail mix!
CONGRATULATIONS Rebecca LeMaster, on a job
well done!

Assisting With Rescue Mission's

Letting them choose
how to spend their day...
Veterinarian in the making, Amanda Jurasek, joined
the OPR team in February 2006 & has proved to be
one of the most valuable volunteers in the history of
OPR. Her remarkable dedication & compassion for
the monkeys combined with her innate ability to
understand their behavior, cater to their needs, &
respect their feelings, has put her at the top of the
monkeys 'most favorite human' list. This has
really created a dilemma for the OPR directors, in
that we must NEVER let her get away! Amanda has
never missed a scheduled work day & has even
come in to help out on unscheduled days. She
comes early, leaves late, and is so detail oriented
that we thought about giving her a toothpick to use
in those hard to reach places that we didn't even
know were there. :0)
What else can we say about someone who is
genuinely sweet, cheerful, friendly, hard working,
dependable, competent, caring, trustworthy, loyal,
and who we just can't do without!
CONGRATULATIONS Amanda Jurasek on a job
well done!
