Earthfest and Sheriff Gusman's Easter Egg Hunt

Earthfest, an annual event at the New Orleans Zoo focuses on improving the earth and highlighting organizations in the city with this goal, was a well attended event at the New Orleans zoo. Organizations around New Orleans set up tables with information and activities. AmeriCorps members helped to run the table for the Children’s Room of the New Orleans Public Library and R.U.B.A.R.B. Bike Shop. All in attendance had a great time. Also on March 22, 2008, AmeriCorps members volunteered their time at the fly for Sheriff Gusman's annual Easter Egg Hunt. Members volunteered by painting children’s faces for the day.
