Zoo Ball
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this year's Zoo Ball a huge success! Zoo Ball 2010 - A Way to Africa was truly an evening to remember, and we are so thankful to Zoo Friends for throwing this party to help raise funds for the Zoo's African Forest exhibit, opening in December.
To the Zoo Ball co-chairs, Cristina Buaas and Sheila Hulme, and Zoo Friends President, Susan Ehrhardt, thank you so much for your tireless work and dedication. You made this event possible, and we are so thankful for your service to the Zoo! Also, a huge thank you to Sodexo for their generous support and in-kind donations. We are proud to have you as a corporate partner!
