LITTLE ROCK ZOO has been a regular supporter of Asian Elephant Support for many years now. We have become such good friends that our president, Linda, was honored with an invitation to Kristin Warner, the Elephant Manager's wedding! Of course Linda accepted and since she would definitely stop by to see her zoo friends (4 as well as 2-legged ones!) she offered to do a presentation about how AES has handled 2020 and 2021 to date.
Also, making this a perfect trifecta, Syd Tanner, Little Rock Zoo's Curator - Conservation/Green Practices, was retiring and thus a last opportunity to say thanks and wish Syd the very best in retirement.
Offer accepted and car packed for the for 350 mile drive from St. Louis to Little Rock, the presentation took place on October 6th in the Zoo's conference room with seventeen Little Rock Zoo staff in the audience as well as one Little Rock resident Linda happened to meet the previous week in St. Louis. When introduced to Kevin and told he was from Little Rock, Linda invited him to attend the presentation she was giving. He said he'd be there and brought the total in attendance to 18!
Always a good audience, Linda is always glad to visit - and talk! And the entire AES Board appreciates most sincerely, the continuing support Little Rock Zoo and the Little Rock Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers directs our way.
