The Coastal Human Society (CHS) will host an open house from noon to 1:30 p.m. April 28 at 190 Pleasant St. (former home of Thibeault Energy) to enlist new volunteers to help with such tasks as serving on the “Puppy Squad,” answering phones and cuddling kittens like Rosa, shown here. With spring, the need for volunteers is urgent. “Our volunteer program accommodates all talents and schedules,” a CHS release states. To fill out your application online or to learn more about volunteer opportunities, visit www.coastalhumanesociety.org, email tslemmer@coastalhumanesociety.org or call 725- 5051 extension 14.
