River Otter Campaign Help bring River Otters to the Potawatomi Zoo! Following a June announcement, the Zoo has begun construction on the first new animal exhibit in 10 years. The exhibit, to feature four river otters, is halfway to completion and needs your help. River otters, once found through most of American and Canada, have suffered as a result of water pollution and habit destruction. This exhibit will introduce the citizens of South Bend to the river otters in hopes of fostering a deeper appreciation of these unique animals and the conservation efforts necessary to protect their habitat. To donate to help the Zoo raise the funds to reach their goal and complete the exhibit visit their website: www.potawatomizoo.org. All donations will be recog- nized in printed materials, and gifts of $100 or more will be recognized with a commemorative river otter ornament. For more information please call 574 -288 -4639.
