Exhibit Party, June 27, 2008

The Friends hosted a members-only opening night party for the new museum exhibit, "Clean Green Energy Machines!" A big thank you to Roxy Rapp, Pizza My Heart, and Cannonball Winery for sponsoring the event.

This exciting exhibit explores green living and renewable energy. With additional funding, we hope to expand the exhibit and open a second phase in April 2009, to coincide with Earth Day. If you haven't seen the new exhibit, please stop by the museum soon.

Our April 2008 Dads & Donuts was a great success! Over 125 member families joined us for a Sunday morning of Krispy Kreme Donuts, Peet's Coffee, fruit, yogurt, and juice. A special performance by Dan Chan the Magic Man was a crowd pleaser, as well as some exciting hands-on exhibits with the animals and Zoo staff.
