Traditionally, every Texas Spirits weenie class is assigned the task of setting up a service project. Service is one of our main pillars, and because of that we encourage every Spirit to really connect with one another while giving back to our community. While finding a venue for 25eager young women to participate in all at once always proves a bit taxing, the Spring 2012 weenie class found the perfect place, The Austin Zoo.
The Austin Zoo is an Animal Sanctuary is a private, non-profit zoo that rescues animals providing them with a safe and caring environment. The girls helped cut up fruits and vegetables for animals, cleaned cages, help with laundry and by the end of the day were able to go into many different animal cages just to play! “…It was so funny watching each other freak out when some off the animals we were warned about being a ‘little grumpy’ came near! It started pouring rain but it didn't matter we were still out there having great time,” Anjali reported. Overall the Spring 2012 class had a blast getting to know more about each other and snapping some really great shots with some beautiful animals. The Austin Zoo really appreciated their good-sportsmanship and general love for service. These ladies make us so proud!
