"My wife worked for a time at the Farm in the Zoo. She loved to work there, and I loved picking her up from work. She is gone now, but the memories live on."-Floyd A. Mittleman

 













“The fact that this wonderful zoo is free for all to enjoy makes us proud to be
associated with it.”


When Joe and Judi Schenke moved to Chicago after 25 years in Barrington, they became frequent visitors to Lincoln Park Zoo’s Regenstein Center for African Apes. Daily visits to the the zoo’s gorillas and chimpanzees made them want to contribute to the zoo’s future. When the couple updated their wills, they decided to include Lincoln Park Zoo as one of their beneficiaries. “We wanted to do something more for the zoo, and the Heritage Society gave us the perfect opportunity,” says Judi.

For more information about how planned giving can benefit both the zoo and your family, contact Marilyn Schaffer, director of Planned Giving, at 312-742-2167 or mschaffer@lpzoo.org.
