  • Rudy, the Red-Tailed Hawk Lands at the Racine Zoo in May Guests Can Meet the Gateway Technical College Mascot in a Special Exhibit
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Gianna O’Keefe Lee Colony Racine Zoological Society Gateway Technical College (262) 636-9312 (desk) (262) 564-2512 (desk) (262) 930-6024 (cell) (262) 359-0798 (cell) [email protected] [email protected] Rudy, the Red-tailed Hawk Lands at the Racine Zoo in May Guests can meet the Gateway Technical College mascot in a special exhibit Racine, Wis., April 15, 2014 – The Racine Zoological Society is excited to announce Rudy, a native Wisconsin red-tailed hawk and official mascot of Gateway Technical College, has a permanent home in a special exhibit at the zoo. The female hawk came to the zoo from a wildlife rehabilitator and is healing from a broken wing. Zoo staff is currently training Rudy so that after she is fully rehabilitated will become an education ambassador for the zoo and the college. Rudy’s exhibit will be located in the peasantry just north of the lower Andean bear viewing area. She will be ready to meet the public in early May. “Rudy is an important animal ambassador because she allows guests to get close to, observe, and learn about a species from right here in Wisconsin,” said Jay R. Christie, zoo president and CEO. “Thank you to Gateway for making this a learning opportunity for the entire community.” Gateway sponsored the hawk and exhibit, and Rudy will make appearances with educational staff at events and schools to provide a means for children and adults alike to learn about one of the most common and beautiful birds of prey in Wisconsin. Rudy’s exhibit will be outfitted with a live web camera so educators from around the world with Internet connection can teach their students about red-tailed hawks, their habitat, and efforts to conserve these birds in the wild.

Message Never underestimate small things. Take the two little words thank and you. Together they are powerful. However valuable a gift, whatever the act of kindness – thank you – is an appropriate and priceless response. Thank you for reading with me, for the homemade scones, for the exquisite bracelet, for the ride to the doctor, for admiring my garden – it was hard work. Thank you for being patient with my father. Thank you for being here. At our best, we want to do for one another. It’s gratifying to hear that something would have been impossible without our help. It is equally rewarding to accomplish things by working with others. That’s the power of community. It’s the uniqueness of a Board Chair, Ted Hart community foundation, making this a place where people & President & CEO, Elizabeth Powell want to live. The social service, cultural and educational organizations that knit together the fabric of a unique and resilient city like Racine are a legacy of generosity.
