Alternative to Traditional Valentine’s Day Gifts
By: Kari Parker
Looking for a one-of-a-kind Valentine’s Day gift? Flowers wilt and chocolates melt! For a lasting gift, tell that special someone in your life just how much they mean to you with a Valentine from the animals at Binder Park Zoo. This special Valentine’s Day A.D.O.P.T (Animals Depend on People Too) package says it all!
The Valentine comes complete with a plush red panda and whimsical poetry by one of the Zoo’s very own zookeep- ers, “Roses are red and pandas are too. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have you!” Your $35 Adopt purchase will help feed over 400 mouths at the Zoo. Chocolate and roses can’t do that! Online purchase is available at www. binderparkzoo.org/adopt.
The special Red Panda Valentine’s Adopt package is $35 and includes
a special colored Valentine’s card, plush Red Panda stuffed animal, adopt Certificate, adopt recipients name dis- played on the Zoo’s Adopt Honor Roll, a colored red panda photograph, and a red panda fact sheet.
Binder Park Zoo is home to some of the world’s most endangered wildlife, like the endangered Chinese Red Panda. With less than 10,000 left in the wild,
Binder Park Zoo is working to protect this species through a Species Survival Plan. This program works to ensure there is a healthy and viable captive population to guarantee its survival.
By participating in Binder Park Zoo’s Adopt program you not only help to provide nutritious food and medical care for the animals at Binder Park Zoo, you also participate in global conserva- tion.
But the Red Panda is not your only option. Make it known to everyone just whooo your special Valentine is this year with a unique Snowy Owl Valentines Adopt Package. Nothing says "Owl Always Love You" quite like this unique gift featuring a plush snowy owl, Adopt Certificate, Animal Fact Sheet, adoptee named on the Adopt Honor Roll Board in the Miller Children's Zoo and a colored photo- graph of adopted animal all for just $35.

For many of us, there's nothing like the aroma of coffee percolating in the kitchen when we wake up in the morn- ing. And, now there is evidence that your morning joe may be good for you, says the Association of Mature American Citizens.
A new study suggests that caffeine
can protect those suffering from chronic state of inflammation. And, that is good news for older coffee drinkers, in par- ticular, since, as Stanford University Professor David Furman puts it, "Most of the diseases of aging are not really diseases of aging, per se, but rather dis- eases of inflammation."
