THIS WEEKEND! One Tail at a Time will have a table at the Renegade Craft Fair on Saturday, September 12th and Sunday, September 13th, from 11am-7pm. Renegade is one of the largest craft fairs in the city and will be a great way for One Tail to reach a very large audience. We will be selling a number of handmade crafts created by One Tail volunteers and showing off some of our adoptable dogs for a portion of the event.

Visit http://www.renegadecraft.com/chicago for details on the location of the event. The One Tail table is located directly in the middle of the fair just next to the beer/food tent facing North. We hope to see you there!

Dear OTAT Supporters,

One Tail at a Time is looking for a fifth board member to join our team!  OTAT is a registered non-profit, no-kill organization and we run the rescue like a business, so we are looking for business-minded individuals. We work hard, but have a lot of fun and hope to find a similarly optimistic and motivated individual to join us.

Qualifications:

• A love for dogs!
• Ability to attend monthly board meetings and adoption and fundraising events on weekends (not every weekend!)
• Ability to help with volunteer duties such as transporting dogs, finalizing adoptions, and organizing events
• The drive to save animals’ lives and help grow a small rescue into a self-sustaining organization
• You must agree with our mission, which can be found on our website. www.onetail.org 

It is not necessary that you have prior rescue or shelter experience, although it is a plus. We would prefer someone with fundraising or grant writing experience, but we will consider anyone who has a specific skill or passion that would help OTAT grow in the right direction.  If you are interested, please email HeatherOTAT@gmail.com with a few paragraphs on why you are interested, what skills you have to offer, and the level of commitment you would be able to offer. Please include a resume if you have one.  All candidates will have an informal interview with OTAT board members before a decision is made.

Thanks to Producer Mary Ann Sochaki, Instructor Neil Shapiro, and Neil’s Advertising Production class at Columbia College, One Tail at a Time is proud to present our first two promotional videos! The videos were written, filmed, and produced as part of the students’ Advertising Production final project. Both feature One Tail dogs and give a wonderful account of the benefits of becoming involved in a rescue, whether through adoption, fostering, donations, or just plain helping to spread the word.

It is with great excitement and gratitude to all involved that One Tail presents these videos:
