"Hi David,
We met last week during the tours of the facility in Paso. We chatted a few minutes afterward and you gave me your card to email you about volunteering. I have had a passion for animals all of my life. I remember zoo to you coming to my schools while I was younger and It was always the best and most memorable assembly of the year. I cannot begin to tell you my excitement to have had the privilege to tour the facilities a few years back, then again last weekend. All of the beautiful animals and the stories of how they came to be animal ambassadors are truly amazing. Your passion, desire and faith in the program has really lit a fire within me. One of my favorite quotes is "be the change in the world you want to see" and I believe you are doing just that. However you are not only making a difference in your life. You are teaching the onward generations how and why its important to care for and protect animals, so we can continue to enjoy them in the future. Keep dreaming, because who you are and what you are doing is making a huge difference in the world. You could not possibly imagine the impact you are having. It would be an honor to learn from and volunteer with your organization. It would be an honor to do all I can to help your dream continue and help it grow. Please let me know who I should contact to see how and when I can help. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.
Sincerely, John H"
