VEWS VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH SPOTLIGHT
JUNE
Please join us in celebrating Drialis Flores, VEWS Volunteer of the Month for June!
Dri has been a VEWS volunteer since November 2023 and currently serves as one of our volunteer mentors on our Sunday evening shift. Dri's co-mentor shared the following comments: " Dri is always so welcoming when you arrive for a shift. She is always willing to do whatever job needs to be done around the barn, even the grunt work and always steps in to help others. She brings a lot of positivity to the group and I love that she doesn't give up when faced with a challenge from a horse. She's always ready to reset and try again. She's open to learning something new & shows so much genuine love & kindness for each of the horses. I love getting to have her as part of our shift! She really exemplifies being a good team member ."
Thank you, Dri, for all you do for VEWS and VEWS horses!
In Dri's words: "I am happy and thankful to be the volunteer for the month of June. VEWS has been such a wonderful experience. I didn’t know anything about horses before coming to VEWS. I love coming out every Sunday afternoon to help, learn, grow and love on all the horses. It is also great to have wonderful people to volunteer alongside with."
