Braving the Blizzard
Recognizing Special Service
At an all-staff meeting yesterday, Lincoln Park Zoo President and CEO Kevin J. Bell recognized the employees who braved the elements in the aftermath of February’s blizzard. While the zoo was closed for the first time in more than a decade, the following people surmounted ice and snow to ensure excellent care for the zoo’s animals.
Thanks to all of them for their commitment!
