The first Twilight Tour of the year was last weekend, and the weather
was just about perfect. If you missed it, you have another chance on
June 23, and one more on September 15. Keep your fingers crossed, we
may have tigers in Project Tiger by the June tour! (weather
cooperating, we still have some work to do.) Reserve
your spot in advance by calling 661.356.3793 between 10 am and 4 pm
any day but Wednesday. Tickets are $20 each and you must be 18 or
older.

Our chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers has begun work
on a new eco-project, 'Renewable Futures for Felines', projects
beneficial to the environment and at the same time supporting EFBC's
mission. In tandem with beautification and improvements around EFBC,
one of our projects is to incorporate small area landscaping with
drought tolerant foliage - xeriscaping. This year, we hope to break
ground in a small space in the exhibit area of center and work from
there. In order to accomplish this goal, we are asking supporters,
volunteers and staff for their best and easiest recipes to be
incorporated into a cookbook to be sold to raise funds for this and
other chapter projects, including direct support of the EFBC.

Cookin' Safari will showcase quick-fix recipes for busy, on-the-go
people. The journey will begin with recipes for breakfast items
through midday snacks to evening meals and, of course, deserts.
Questions and recipes for consideration can be sent via email to
aazk.efbcchap...@gmail.com, Subject: AAZK EFBC Chapter - Cookbook, or
by mailing in a recipe. Deadline for receipt of recipes is July 31,
2012. Any recipes not used will be kept on file.
