"One World, One Zoo"

3 rd International Congress on Zoo Keeping And the

36 th American Association of Zoo Keepers National Conference

Hosted by The Puget Sound Chapter of AAZK and WoodlandPark Zoo

Puget Sound AAZK Chapter would like to send out a hearty Thank You to everyone who contributed in any way to the 3rd International Congress on Zoo Keeping and the 36th American Association of Zoo Keepers National Conference hosted by The Puget Sound Chapter of AAZK and Woodland Park Zoo. This is the first time these two meetings have been held together and over 400 people from 24 countries participated in the conference. Times have been tough, but every little bit helped us to put on a fantastic conference. We certainly could not have done this without so many generous contributions of money, items, time, and manpower from so, so many people - including all of those who were able to come to the conference this year as delegates. You helped make it a fun filled week of networking and information sharing.  I hope you all got out of it as much as we did.

Also a special thanks goes out to those that helped plan the event.  No matter how big or small your involvement and your efforts did not go unnoticed.
