#WANDERING WILLOWS BIOLOGIST MEDAL TV#

Donations raised go directly into the Zoo’s conservation mission initiatives.

Beastly Ball tickets for Saturday’s event go for $1,500 per person. I felt like we were cruising through the savannahs. He’d drive, stop, we’d pile out, visit a cage or an enclosure, hop back on board, rinse and repeat as it were. When you see a fella like this you don’t want to say, “Hey, your mama wears combat boots!” or “I bet your father was the milkman!” Photo by Bondo WyszpolskiI also have to point out that during my visit, and after I’d snapped up more food than a crocodile, I embarked on an intensive golf cart tour of the premises with docent Michael Stepner of Chatsworth at the wheel, who told us more about the ways and means of the animal world than one could glean from half a dozen guidebooks.

Also, in her memory there will be a (Betty) White Carpet Reception and the naming of the Betty White Conservation Hero Award.

In addition, one can bid on jewelry, clothing, and signed items of Betty White.īetty White? Yes, the late TV and film icon, who barely missed out on becoming a centenarian (as Wilson Pickett sang, “Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won’t Do)”), is being honored posthumously, because she served for over 50 years as a GLAZA trustee and in 2010 was the inaugural Chair of the Los Angeles Zoo Commission. A “mobile-bidding silent auction” is set to go with dozens of choices, from animal adoption packages to travel, sports, and entertainment options. It’s taking place this coming Saturday evening where there will be food and beverages, animal feedings and keeper talks, and entertainment galore at the Treetops Terrace.

Kim Prince is the founder of Hotville Chicken.
