This Letter was written and Delivered to the Zoo Along with our Supplies Today!!
July 2, 2010Dear Ms. Hall and staff:
The supplies delivered today to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, “The Little Zoo” That Could”, are donated by the public through the sponsorship of the Dollar General Store in Elberta, Alabama. They were given to a recently organized project called “Lemon ‘Aid’4 Wildlife” to be taken to the zoo. You can find out more about the Lemonade Stand by visiting the website : http://bpoilpocalypse.blogspot.com/2010/06/lemonade-stand-details.html
The lemonade stand was started by Michele Walker-Harmon with her children, Katie and Cody, as they wanted to do something to help the injured and damaged animals as a result of the horrific oil spill. The family is native to Orange Beach but now reside in Elberta. They originally designated the proceeds to go to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab Animal Rescue but have now decided to also split the proceeds with the animal rescue effort of the Zoo. There are several more lemonade stand events planned for the next few weeks in front of several Dollar General Stores in the area with permission from their corporate office. They will be held on Saturdays. We will continue to bring supplies to you as they are donated.
If you would like to contact Michele she can be reached at her cell # 213-4884 or by email: seachele420@gmail.com
