From our club friend, John Reed:
By now I’m sure you’ve all seen my exhibition at the Jacksonville Zoo! 🙂 If not, still time as 49 framed photos will still be on display in the Palm Plaza Cafe at least through the end of this month. Go see them!!
Then, get ready to be even more amazed with the photography of renowned photographer Joel Sartore. I hope you all will come out Sunday at UNF to hear Joel speak and then visit the Zoo sometime while the Photo Ark is there.

About the National Geographic Photo Ark
Through the generous sponsorship of donors Jennifer and Joseph Duke and Joseph and Renate Hixon, the stunningly beautiful portraits of the National Geographic Photo Ark will be displayed throughout the Zoo and Gardens November 17 through March 1.
Twenty-six kiosks featuring 52 animal species from around the world will be on exhibit for members and guests to enjoy. Through the exhibition, the Zoo hopes to further convey the local and global initiatives supported by the Zoo and bring awareness to the importance of wildlife conservation around the world.
Best regards and thanks,
John
