Tierrasanta Village of SanDiego, in partnership with Adventures by the Book, is pleased to continue its exciting new program, "Tierrasanta Talks," featuring San Diego Zoo ambassador and children's author, Georgeanne Irvine, on Thursday, April 16, at 6:30 pm at the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Join Georgeanne in this centennial year of the Zoo (1915 - 2015) as she shares stories from her 36 colorful years at the Zoo, and get the inside scoop on the Zoo's planned Penguin Beach exhibit and their conservation efforts on behalf of critically-endangered African penguins.
Similar in concept to the enormously popular TED Talks, "Tierrasanta Talks" is open in the public and will feature speakers of reknown, interest, or inspiration. The series is also a great opportunity to showcase TVSD to the community at large and provide an ongoing source of fundraising. The launch event in February featuring Pulitzer Prize winner Steve Breen drew out a crowd of approximately 100 people who were mesmerized by Steve's talent and stories, and raised approximately $500 for TVSD.
Admission is $10 for both members and non-members, and is a fundraising opportunity for TVSD. In addition, a portion of event proceeds will be donated to the San Diego Zoo's new Penguin Beach fundraising efforts. Admission may be purchased at the door, while seats are available.
Remember, your support of this program is integral to its success as an ongoing series in our community, so encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to join us! Do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
