BOO at the ZOO (BATZ) UPDATE !

WHAT: Volunteers can come costumed or in plain clothes. Volunteering for BATZ should be easy and rewarding work! BATZ is the annual fundraiser for the Birmngham Zoo, a 501c3 non-profit organization - www.birminghamzoo.com


WHEN: The Zoo asks volunteers to arrive at 4 PM and stay until 9 PM, but this is entirely flexible. School-work schedules are part of most of our lives. As long as we know who to expect and when they plan to arrive - we can easily work around late arrivals and early departures. BATZ is open from 6 - 9 PM.


WHERE: Costumed actor/volunteers should park in Employee Parking (From the ZOO main entrance, you will take a LEFT before the picnic and general parking area.) Volunteers should come to the ZOO OFFICE ENTRANCE to the LEFT of the MAIN ZOO ENTRANCE. Be sure to tell them that you are with OmegaCon and they can send you on to our check-in. Once you enter the zoo - come to the OmegaCon Room in the CHILDREN'S ZOO AREA (to the right, around the corner,near the fountains and big cafe). All volunteers should sign-in OmegaCon Check-in Table. The Birmingham Zoo is located at: 2630 Cahaba Road, Birmingham AL 35223. Questions? pgsmith@charter.net or 205-567-7259

NOTICE TO COSTUMERS: IF possible please arrive on Friday no later than 5 PM. We will be doing a LIVE taping for NBC 13 at 5:00 and 6:00 PM - and we'd like to include as many themed costumers as possible.
