*Please note that the start time is 10AM for this volunteer event.* Although arriving late is Ok. Please join us for as much time as you can.

Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation specializes in special needs farmed-animals. They're located in Glenelg, Md (its in Howard Co about 10 minutes from Great Sage).

"We Rescue All types of animals with special needs/disabilities and Seniors in the hopes that they will one day be adopted into a loving home. If one cannot be found, we provide the comfort, care and forever home they need."

Volunteer tasks can get dirty! Please dress for dirty work. I recommend bringing gloves, hat and sun protection. Tasks may require mobility or strength but there are many tasks that don't. The specific tasks will based on the # of volunteers who sign up.

Hatton Animal Rescue is located in a home in a residential neighborhood. Carpooling is highly encouraged to reduce the number of cars in the driveway & in the neighborhood (& also to reduce our overall carbon footprint). Please note if you would like to carpool & where you're coming from. If you can meet at the park and ride on Brokenland Pkwy in Columbia, please mention that since it's probably on the way for many people.

Please park in the grass on the left side of the driveway or on Kennard Drive.

Please print out and complete the liability waiver. By participating, you understand that there are inherent risks with volunteer work.

**YOU MUST WATCH THE FILM ON YOUR OWN BEFORE THIS EVENT**

For this Virtual Documentary Night we have voted to talk about the documentary, Dominion. Dominion uses drones, hidden and handheld cameras to expose the dark underbelly of modern animal agriculture, questioning the morality and validity of humankind’s dominion over the animal kingdom. While mainly focusing on animals used for food, it also explores other ways animals are exploited and abused by humans, including clothing, entertainment and research. Again, you must watch the film before attending this event. Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free.

This is a Voting Night, which means at the end of the night we brainstorm and vote to decide as a group what we will watch the following month, so please come ready with your recommendation. The only requirement is that the film must be available to watch online for free. If you need any ideas, you can search through the Flyers Page on the Community Documentary Night website. It is full of flyers based around certain themes and each flyer is full of documentary posters, which are hyperlinked to where you watch the films for free. Something to consider is that next month is January, which is Veganuary, January 1st is New Years Day, and January 19th is MLK Day. Check out the Veganuary flyer, Happy New Year flyer, or the MLK Day flyer if you're interested in recommending a film in honor of these holiday.

Again, you must watch the film on your own BEFORE the event. We will be meeting over Zoom, where we will break out into small discussion groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion, then have a special guest Q&A, before closing out the night with a vote to decide what film we will watch the following month. The Zoom information is listed below.

This event is posted in multiple meetup groups, and on Eventbrite, as well as with members of the Community Documentary Night email list. (Message me if interested in joining the email list) Therefore, THIS RSVP LIST IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT. So even if you only see one person RSVPed in this meetup group, there will always be others in attendance from other groups. We tend to have at least 20 on average. By inviting numerous groups that increases the likelihood that those in attendance will be from varying backgrounds and beliefs. This is done purposefully to provide everyone with the opportunity to hear a wide range of perspectives.

This event is open to all who are open to all. The one thing we ask is that people allow others to get their full thought out and that any disagreement is voiced in a civil way. Check out the Community Documentary Night website for more info or links to previously shown documentaries.

Thank you and hope to see you there!

For this Special Virtual Documentary Night, in honor of Veganuary, we are meeting to talk about the documentary, Big Max. A morbidly obese individual, Max, decides to change his lifestyle for a month and try going vegan. Health is irrelevant, weight is not the issue. Max decides to change to spite his vegan friend and prove he can change for 30 days without failing. Director Justin Russell will be joining us for a special guest Q&A!
