LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Hello! It’s an honor to serve as the new Executive Director of STAR – St. Louis Avian Rescue. Over the past few years, STAR embarked on making substantial changes to our organization. We have an (almost) entirely new leadership team comprised of diverse professionals whose dedication is filled with passion, heart and a love of parrots. As a team, we are working to continually improve and evolve to meet the growing need for parrot rescue within the region. We are reaching our current goals and doing so without paid staff, which is a true accomplishment!
While we have many goals to reach over the next year, some of our most immediate projects include growing our foster numbers and building a new education program. Through these initiatives, STAR volunteers will be able to provide first-rate rehabilitation to fosters in our care and assist the local community with creating safe and enriching lifestyles for their parrots.
With each edition of the newsletter, I look forward to updating you as we make progress on these goals.
If you are interested in joining our team, please fill out our Volunteer Form. We encourage you to come out and say “hello” at our upcoming events. We look forward to meeting you in 2022!
Jill Capps
Executive Director
