Meet Shawna and Diane- Two Faces of the Zoo!

There are so many volunteers that give their time around the zoo, and Shawna is one of them. She’s one of the Face’s of the Zoo, and she told me that during her time there, she hands out maps, animals trading cards, and gets people informed and interested in a membership. She really interacts with the people. Shawna really loves her volunteering because she loves her interaction with the kids and their excited smiles as they come to the zoo. And to top it all of, her favorite animal at the zoo is the Red Panda.(You can find him in the Childrens Zoo in the building behind the carousel.)
Another volunteer is Diane. She's been Voluneering as a Face of the Zoo since this may, 2010. She said she thought it would be interesting to volunteer, and boy was she right! She loves her job, especially handing out animal trading cards tothe kids. "It seems to add to the experience of their adventure," Diane says. She finds all of the animals at the zoo interesting, but her absolute favorite are the primates. "There's often activity and the animal's facial expressions are interesting." But she did inform me that she's excited to see the polar bear in his soon to be home, the Arctic Passage, which is being built for the polar bears and seals.
Thanks Shawna and Diane!
