Information Request: Helping Raise Puppies to Become Dog Guides As an assistant in the Corporate Social Responsibility Office of your corporation, you have been given an unusual task. Your manager wants to expand the company’s philanthropic and community relations mission and especially employee volunteerism. She heard about the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, a program in which trainers breed and raise puppies for dog guide training. She thinks this would be an excellent outreach program for the company’s employees. They could give back to the community in their role as foster parents to a future dog guide, groomers/bathers of dog guides in training, kennel workers, or special events workers. To pursue the idea, she asks you to request information about the program and ask questions about whether a company could sponsor a program encouraging employees to act as volunteers. She hasn’t thought it through very carefully and relies on you to raise logical questions, especially about costs for volunteers.

Your Task. Write an information request to Sandy Turney, Executive Director, Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, P.O. Box 907, Oakville, ON L6J 5E8. Include an end date and a reason."
