President Henry Davis led today’s meeting. Maureen Murphy offered the prayer and Mike Deep led us in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Our speaker today was Sarah McKemey, Public Relations/Volunteer Coordinator for the Montgomery Zoo. Sarah, a staff member at the zoo for the past 16 years, told us of some new updates at the zoo, including the installation of a new Sky Tram, a 42 foot high “ski-lift like” ride that will take visitors above the zoo on a unique trip around the zoo. This sky tram plans to be in operation by mid-June. In addition, the zoo plans to have a new exhibits including: (1) an alligator/crocodile exhibit displaying the critters at various stages of life, (2) a new butterfly house with touch-and-feel capabilities for young kids, and (3) a touch-and-feel sting ray exhibit. She encouraged us to volunteer at various zoo venues, including the “Zoo Boo” in
October. She expressed thanks to our club for helping fund zoo activities and equipment. Mrs. Sarah McKemey gave a very interesting presentation and update on the Montgomery Zoo.
President Henry Davis read thank you notes to club members from the Family Sunshine Center and Agape.
