Coordinator Report – Devin Saari

Quite a hot day today but we had tons of volunteers come in to help out! Tanya Chute and Mazz finished cleaning early so they completed food prep before lunch. Sharon Henry and Mary Gagliordi did the cicle cats. Tanya Chute finished adding wire to the rat cages.

The big project for today was working in the Cubs old enclosure by staff offices. Thank you to Mike Enders, Brooklynne Dillon, Ashley Tait, Andrew Myers, Tanya Chute, AJ, and Ofek Krauss for working hard on the project!

Also, people that needed sign-offs got them.

Thank you to everyone who helped out today!
