Members of WBA have participated in 5 tabling events in the Seattle area since the beginning of the year:

  1. ‘For the Love of Pollinators’ in February sponsored by American Association of Zoo Keepers Puget Sound Chapter. It was held at a brewery in the Ballard dis- trict of Seattle
  2. The opening of the Molbak’s sponsored Butterfly House at the Woodland Park Zoo in May in Seattle. Molbak’s is a nursery in Woodinville.
  3. A second time at the Woodland Park Zoo at the Butterfly House in June in Seattle.
  4. Molbak’s Nursery in Woodinville for their ‘What’s the Buzz: The Importance of Pollinators’ event in July.
  5. Software company Adobe asked us to come to their employee family picnic in the Fremont district of Seattle in August.

These events are very rewarding. People young and old are very curious to know more about butterflies. We get many more requests for events than we can staff. There are often elementary schools asking us to come to their Science Nights.

Many thanks to Paulette Murphy, Al Wagar, Julie O’Donald, and Carolyn Heberlein for helping with these events.
