ExZOOberation 2010Thanks to all who participated in 2010 ExZOOberation!

Our 15th annual ExZOOberation, held on Saturday, April 17th, 2010 was the best ever, according to many guests who have become regular attendees over the years.  To start off the evening, the first stop for most guests was to enjoy the comical antics of our lively penguins at the new Tuxedo Coast Exhibit located in Play Park.  Following a spirited Live Auction, guests enjoyed a great gourmet meal provided by Orsay.  The Faze Band kept guests dancing well into the evening and many left at the party’s end with winning bid auction items in tow.  Thank you to all of our guests and sponsors for a tremendously successful event.
