We had a few scheduling challenges today, so I came in to help a bit, and asked some others to as well.

Here are my thank yous from the day. First, the non-humans, then, the human helpers.

Thank you Dallas for being ready in the chute… you did not need to be ready but thank you anyway.

Thank you Duckie for laying eggs today

Now, for the people. Volunteer Alayna started with us in September.

We called in some extra support from Museum staff. A big thanks to Em, Jen, Ro and Steve (note that the photos are all pre-covid, so please enjoy seeing full faces).

Em, Ro, and Steve are on our “ride out” team, or what we call our “Neighborhood Team”. They live walking distance to the Museum. They have assisted Animal Care during snow and other weather events. When the Museum closes due to weather events, and some Animal Care staff are unable to get in, I reach out to the Neighborhood Team and say HELP PLEASE. (and they always do). Questions about the Neighborhood Team? Just ask.
