Hey gang, I’ll keep this brief… ProjectOKC pledged 30 volunteers (15 per evening) to the OKC Zoo for their annual children’s event called Haunt the Zoo for tonight and tomorrow. At one time we had both nights covered and now we’ve had SO MANY PEOPLE DROP. This leaves us in a HUGE lurch and leaves the zoo uncovered for the spots that we had originally filled.

If you can volunteer tonight and/or tomorrow night PLEASE sign up. We’ve never dropped this many volunteers before and I’m super shocked we’ve had so many say they can’t show at the last minute like this.

Please, help out if you can. It’ll be fun! Here are the specifics…


RSVP for Thursday: http://projectokc.com/calendar/14773822/

Please plan to arrive at the Zoo’s Education Center (located at the east end of the Zoo’s main parking lot) between 5:00-5:15 p.m. so you will have plenty of time to eat and get in place before the gates open at 6:30 PM. Shifts are over at approximately 9:00 p.m. Remember, for safety reasons, we ask that no children accompany volunteers. 

Volunteer Tips: 

· Haunt the Zoo will go on RAIN or SHINE, so dress for the weather!   

· All volunteers must check in and out through the Education Center. 

· If you are volunteering at a themed booth please arrive in costume, as there is limited space for changing. No scary costumes please. 

· The Zoo provides all of the treats being handed out and takes care of stocking the booths each night. 

· If you are wearing one of the mascot costumes, dress in cool, lightweight clothing and tennis shoes and socks. 

· And, the most important thing… have a good time! 

 If you are unable to work as scheduled or have any questions, please contact me at (405) 425-0292 or djones@okczoo.com  as soon as possible so we can fill your shift. 

Thanks again for your help!
