The South Central LEAD in Austin saw a large collection of pet, cleaning and office items donated to the<br />
Central Texas Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Tracey Florio, provincial community service<br />
chair, organized the process.<br />
South Central LEAD Provincial Benefits Central Texas SPCA<br />
by Tracey Florio, South Central Provincial Community Service Chair<br />
The South Central Province selected the Central Texas SPCA (Society for the Prevention<br />
of Cruelty to Animals) as beneficiary of its community service project at the Austin LEAD<br />
Provincial. Not only did brothers donate pet, cleaning and office items, they also benefited<br />
from the lunch program given by CTSPA President Ms. Jeanette Cacciola.<br />
“Not only did I want this community service event to benefit homeless and abandoned<br />
animals,”says Tracey Florio,“but I wanted it to be two-fold where the attendees would learn<br />
about working for a non-profit.” Ms. Cacciola spoke about the benefits of volunteering,<br />
types of jobs available in a non-profit, marketing required for a non-profit and what<br />
<strong>Delta</strong>sigs can do now to volunteer.<br />
Ms. Cacciola spoke about the various positions found in non-profits.“Large non-profits<br />
have many jobs similar to major companies. At smaller non-profits, employees wear many<br />
hats. In these “generalist”roles, you get an opportunity to find out what you really enjoy and<br />
what you would prefer not to do more of in future jobs.”<br />
“I was pleased to hear that the attendees found the speech beneficial to them,” said<br />
Brother Florio.“Not only did brothers bring donations to help those who could not help<br />
themselves, but they learned the benefits of volunteering. I hope to include the SPCA as a<br />
beneficiary in other cities that we hold events.” ▲<br />
