Meet & Greets are great events to educate the public about the greyhound as a pet. If you are able to volunteer, contact the lead so they can schedule for appropriate coverage. Generally people will volunteer for two-hour shifts, if you can only volunteer for one hour that will be fine, just let the lead know.
