  Come help us make the 1 Voice Academy an even better place for the kids.  We'll be doing a spring landscaping clean-up, some light painting and power washing. 

  Anyone who gets there on time (9am) will get one extra volunteer hour (so 4 hours instead of 3)!  

  Wear clothes that are OK to get dirty/paint-splattered and bring work gloves, comfortable shoes, water, etc..    If you have some landscaping tools like rakes and or shovels please bring them.  And if you have/can bring a power-washer, that would be great!

  For anyone who hasn't heard about the Academy, here's a short news clip on it.

  MEMBERS ONLY -  Spring service day at Big Cat Rescue!

  Activities usually include cleaning up or preparing a new habitat.  That means a lot of landscaping  and painting, so wear clothes you are OK getting dirty.  Closed-toe shoes (hiking boots are even better if you  have them) are a must.  Don't forget to bring water, bug spray, sunscreen, etc.   

  IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME.  LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BE ESCORTED EVERYWHERE ON PROPERTY.

  IF YOU DIDN'T DO THE DECEMBER EVENT, CLICK HERE TO E-SIGN THE BIG CAT WAIVER - MUST DO AT LEAST ONE WEEK PRIOR TO EVENT DAY!!! 

  MAKE SURE TO READ BIG CAT'S RULES FOR VOLUNTEERS (SEE BELOW)

  This event is capped at 10 participants per Big Cat Rescue's group policy.

  

  The facility has been closed to visitors in the aftermath of the Tiger King controversy and COVID, so there are some rules for everyone to be aware of.

  • All members must provide proof of COVID vaccination.  
  • Bring a mask - if you are working within 6 feet of a cat, you'll need to wear it.
  • All members must be at least 18 years of age
  • All members must sign a hold harmless release form before arriving on property, and provide proof of ID on arrival.  See the link above to e-sign the waiver.
  • All members must always stay with their group while on property and the group must always be supervised by a Big Cat Volunteer.  If for any reason a member needs to leave early, they will be escorted back to the parking lot by a BCR volunteer

  Inter-Krewe Council is excited to announce the return of Krewe World - Beyond the Beads, on Saturday, May 13th at OCC Road House & Museum from 11 am until 4 pm. 

  Krewe World is open to the public, and its main focus is to showcase what Krewes do "Beyond the Beads" and parades.  Last year's event drew in an estimated 1500 attendees!

  Volunteer Opportunity:

  All volunteers must by YMKN members and need to be in Krewe costume or wearing a YMKN shirt.  If you don't have a YMKN shirt, we can probably find one for you to borrow (or you can order in the web store).

  Sign up for as little as 2 hours or stay all day!  You get credit for the number of hours worked + 1 hour for travel time. All you have to do is sit in our tent (possibly sipping a cocktail) and chat with visitors about YMKN, krewe life in general and the charities we support.

  Ahoy Nauti Mates!

  It's time once again for the annual YMKN trip to Key West for Hemingway Days. 

  To keep things simple and allow for maximum flexibility, the Krewe does not manage this event, i.e., you need to make your own travel arrangements and lodging reservations. Typically, whoever goes will stay in touch via text or Facebook Messenger.

  Where to Stay (or try to get close by):

  Rose Lane Villas and Old Towne Manor

  Options for travel to Key West:

  This part is up to you depending on your preference and budget.  You can drive, fly or take the ferry from Fort Myers.

  Flights: From TPA, United and Silver have flights on the 20th and 23rd.  From PIE, Allegiant offers flights, but their schedule is limited so you'd have to fly on the 21st and 24th.

  Ferry:  There is a ferry from Fort Myers to Key West almost every day.
