“10 Questions” with Stella Hanly, Animal Welfare League of Alexandria

“10 Questions” went out on a high with Stella Hanley, Executive Director of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.” Animal care has been affected by COVID in unimaginable ways, and Stella and her team at the AWLA have really stepped up to it. Seriously, they have 500 volunteers? How awesome is that? And how did Stella’s childhood in northern Ireland make her the driven, empathetic executive director she is today? As always, watch our entertaining Facebook live show here and read our “5 More Questions” for a bonus.

And special, special thanks and tons of love to The Zebra for this opportunity. It was so much fun and I’m sad that it has to end. Here’s hoping that “10 Questions” truly made Alexandria a better and stronger community.
