I easily found what we needed for a fraction of retail. As a seller, the support is next-level. Their Facebook group is active year-round with tagging tips, pricing guidance, and quick answers, so you're not scrambling just before the sale. It made the whole consigning process simple and worth it. The sale is well organized, clean, and easy to navigate. Checkouts are efficient, and I appreciated that items are inspected for quality. Pro tip: go early for the best selection, then swing back for discount day to scoop up final deals. Already counting down to the spring sale--can't wait to shop and consign again. If you've got kids (or kid gear to offload), JBF Reno is a must.

The #1 rule at the RHS is to HAVE FUN, and when combined with our love of reptiles, amphibians, and all animals, we have a lot of it. We're a vibrant community of about 100 comprised of people young and old, and we hold meetings quarterly where we bring in experts to share knowledge about all facets of the hobby, hold monthly raffles, and offer members the opportunity to connect with each other about what they have going on in their personal lives and their collections. For me though, the best part of the organization is our Junior Herper program. After all, if we don't get the younger generation involved, there won't be a hobby in the future. Our program is all about education through hands on experience, and for each meeting, the younger members are given an assignment to complete. At the meeting they present their projects to the group and are rewarded for doing so. The entire membership looks forward to this, and these kids have really grown over the life of the club. If you, or that young person in your life are an animal lover or want to learn more about reptiles and amphibians, this is the perfect place to start. The RHS meetings are free, and I'd personally like to encourage you to come check it out.

Well THINK AGAIN!!! This club welcomed me in like family and continues to impress me. It's VERY family-friendly with activities for the younger ones!

Sometimes different sponsors donate baby snakes, geckos, tortoises, husbandry supplies, or reptile related SWAG - if you buy raffle tickets you could be going home with some pretty cool stuff!! I can't say enough about this organization! If you're into reptiles, or have kids that are showing signs of being interested in snakes and lizards, this is the best, most professional atmosphere around to LEARN and meet others who share the same passion! :) :) :)

Offering a hand up is not a hand-out. -Clara Barton, public school teacher, civil rights advocate,…read moreAmerican Civil war nurse who traveled with Union Army, and American Red Cross "ARC" founder. Good intentions only go so far. To truly help others, you have to take action in some way. Similarly, you have to be active in your faith in order for it to be truly meaningful. Saw ARC brochure at a Veterans hospital offered free smoke alarms in homes. A volunteer came to my home who checked and updated all batteries of my existing smoke detectors, checked electrical connections for the hard-wired smoke alarms while reminding me to, "Test your smoke alarms monthly." No one else does what ARC does: not any government, not other charities. From small house fires to multi-state natural disasters, ARC goes wherever humanitarian need is to provide answer to that need. 95% are volunteers. Each year ARC responds to some 64,000 disasters. The vast majority are home fires. ARC goal's to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries in the US because on average: 7 people die every day in America from home fire, most impacting children and the elderly. My maternal grandmother was one of them. 36 people suffer injuries as a result of an American home fire every day. Over $7 billion in American property damage occurs every year from home fires. ARC began providing services to US military during Spanish-American War in 1898. More than 400 ARC volunteers, including 296 women nurses, lost their lives in World War I. They were on the front lines of battle. They served in field and evacuation hospitals, on hospital trains, ships and planes. ARC involvement in World War II preceded entrance of US into war. In 1939, ARC became chief provider of relief supplies for civilian victims.. After 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor ARC quickly mobilized a volunteer and staff force of what was to be more than 104,000 nurses to fulfill the mandates of its 1905 congressional charter requiring that the organization "furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war" and to "act in matters of voluntary relief and in accord with the military and naval authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their Army and Navy." Donut Dollies was popular term used for ARC women who volunteered to work overseas in mobile service clubs called clubmobiles. They provided food, entertainment and a bit of a connection to home to GIs stationed overseas. On the home-front millions of ARC volunteers provided aid and comfort to GIs and their families, service in hospitals experiencing severe staffing shortages, provided first aid and water safety training, conducted scrap drives, organized Victory Gardens, initiated educational programs, in-home nutrition, and produced emergency supplies for victims of war. ARC also recruited thousands of nurses to Serve in Army and Navy Nurses Corps. ARC served American prisoners of war as a conduit for communication between prisoners and their families, providing essential care packages to prisoners though many captors thwarted these efforts. ARC war time activity reached its peak in 1945; 7.5 million volunteers and 39,000 paid staff were supporting war effort. By the time of the end of the war, the American public had contributed over $784 million in support of Red Cross activities. During World War II, 86 ARC workers, 52 women and 34 men, lost their lives. ARC volunteers were with GIs during US military actions following WWII: Korea 1950-1953 where two American Red Cross members lost their lives and many others were injured. Cuba 1961 Viet Nam 1961-1973 where 480 ARC field directors, hospital personnel and recreation workers served in Southeast Asia. ARC workers brought recreation to an average of 280,500 GIs each month. Five ARC members lost their lives and many others were injured. Dominican Republic 1965, Lebanon 1982, Grenada 1982, Panama 1982 Gulf War (Kuwait and Iraq) 1991 where ARC volunteers carried 215,000 emergency messages to and from GIs. They aided more than 4,700 GIs and their families with $1.72 million in emergency financial aid and other services. Seven ARC workers received the Bronze Star for meritorious service. Somalia 1983, Haiti 1994, Bosnia 1994-1995, Kosovo 1999, Afghanistan 2001-2021, Iraq War 2003-2010, Libya 2011, War with ISIL 2012-2019, Syria 2017-present For 100+ years ARC volunteers have worked at Department of Veterans Affairs "VA" hospitals in medical, recreational and welfare programs; and for decades at VA offices providing assistance to Veterans filing applications for Service and disability compensation.
