ignore the small daily difference we can make which, over time, add up to big
differences that we often cannot foresee." - Marian Wright Edelman

An update on Patti the Hippo

With our help the kids school raised enough money to sponsor Patti the hippo at the Milwaukee County Zoo. For our contribution of $31 in pennies the school gave the stuffed Patti the hippo to Cole and Gavin as well as the I sponsored an animal decal. The schools name will be placed on the All in the Family Donor board for 12 months. The children will also be invited to a sponsor's only "Animal Safari" event at the zoo where they will be given behind the scenes tours.
We also were given a little more info on Patti, her mate Pinky and their "baby" Puddles. The kids are really looking forward to seeing Patti as soon as weather permits.
