You can volunteer there. Just as long as you can pass a criminal background check. I worked in the seahorse exhibit, giving little qestions about the exhibit to kids and raising awareness. Another job was working the walkway by the whales....which was the most rewarding(building a relationship of sorts with the whales). I worked down in the new reef exhibit. Then I worked in water quality control(lab work)...was better for more connections and behind the scenes. You either work for a few hours every two weeks or every week. If you have chemistry background, I could get you in the lab probably...every other saturday morning for 2.5-3 hrs. They might have an age limit for lab, but I worked with high school students on my other jobs. You get free admission to all the museums in their group, and free admission for up to 4-5 people in your family to the shedd. I have brought friends also.

They do diving excursions, amazon research....if you have a permit to dive, you would have it made. Last spring, they took a group to the bahamas for night diving. They were researching the coral population for them to reproduce due to the moon cycle.
:jumping: Volunteers get to take the classes offered at the Shedd. They have college coarses that are taught at the Shedd. These classes go pretty in depth. I believe they are coarses offered at northwestern?!
Let me know what the ag lady says, as soon as you read this. I can print up the flyers and send them out.

no problem guys. The ag lady probably spoke before she checked with her surperiors. I would have it at my house, but I have not room. Fishy, If you had one at your house, I would come.

I talked to jay at animal island...he is a go. I started a thread about coraline algae exchange. It is very beneficial to have different types.

spicy,
you were supposed to get back to us on friday...what happened? I talked to fishy earlier on the phone... He was going to have one at his house besides the one we were planning with you. What did the ag lady say? Check out the group I belong to. This will be easier to organize. It has its own message board, etc. Anyone willing to join? http://aquariums.meetup.com/8/
