Smile Hello everybody from Metro Detroit
Old 12-08-2008

Hello everyone. I have only been to one zoo, the Detroit Zoo. I do plan on in the Fall or next Summer making day trips to Lansing Zoo, Overnight to Grand Rapids zoo and Toledo Zoos.

I became a DZS member in 2006 when Detroit desided to stop funding the zoo. I had been wanting to volunteer for a long time. So, I became a spcial events volunteer and a Australian Outback Adventure volunteer. When the season started, I desided to add Zoo Ambasador to the list.

I was tired of my dead end job, with a boss over my sholder so I desided to see if there was a career with the Detroit Zoological Society, so I applied for a Guest Relations Assistant - Seasonal. The person I talked about jobs there, turned out to have since been promoted to supervisor and had requested me due to the volunteerisum. To better my job, I took the Gallery Guide Volunteer training, and I also volunteered two times. Due to two jobs and soon going back to school, I have not had time to volunteer, I hope to change that in the near future.

Welcome Eric! When you visit Toledo you should also drop in at Fort Wayne. I'm the Area Manager for our Australian Adventure. I'd be happy to show you around.
