And a chuckle, thats one of the bald eagles, one of the successful conservation programs and we were explaining to him we had to separate the parents from the offspring to protect the health of the eggs and we used technology to do so.

They love graham crackers, so if anybody wants to do a special feeding, they really enjoy the graham crackers. They may lose their antlers soon because of the weather has been warm here, but they will be with us until january 1. Theyre near our friendfamily playground, a great place to bring children, grandchildren, et cetera. If you saw in the chronicle today, both the oakland zie and San Francisco zoo have zoo lights. These are free for members. If you buy online, 2 discount. Otherwise, 10 for adults, free for seniors and kids under 3. Well have santa here and when he goes, well have zoo lights in the area of the giraffe barn as well. A great way to celebrate the lights.

That is the conclusion of my recognition. We have this month in parks, we have a special video that may or may not have seen. It is our annual report. 2017. In retrospect. [ ] its been another amazing year for us at the San Francisco rec and park with 220 parks, 4,000 acres of open space, we have one of the most special parks in the entire country, but what makes our park system so special are all of you. The people who use the parks every day. Who participate in your recreation programs, who volunteer, who advocate, and who work in our parks. Our accomplishments are your accomplishments.
