Thanks, Mom!

In honor of mother’s day, we’d like to thank and recognize our own mothers.  They have taught us compassion towards animals and each other.  They have taught us to be curious about the world around us.  They have taught us the value of education.  They support us and celebrate us and our work.  Today, we celebrate them.

Judy, Joanne’s mom, is a music teacher who lives in Massachusetts.  She volunteers occasionally with education programs and volunteer cookouts!

Judy (different one!), Brian’s mom, is a retired nurse who lives in New Mexico.  When she visits, she loves to help with the turtles!

Trudy (rhymes with Judy), Rogers’ mom, is a retired educator, nonprofit administrator, and business woman who lives in New Jersey.  She was most recently seen disguised as a seahorse at NMLC’s 2009 Mermaid Ball!

Ann Marie (who has a sister named Judy), Kathy’s mom, is a retired aide for disabled students who lives in Wisconsin.  Her visits are volunteer vacations and she helps out with everything from animal care to education to facilities to the gift shop.

Thanks, Mom!
