Today was going along as another great day at the Discovery Center when a personal hero of mine came to visit. Willy, Blue Oceans, Junior Intern came by to see what we have inside. I've got to say todays blog is about him. Willy is 10 years old and he cares so much about our local whales that he has his family come from PA(where he's from) all the way up to the MA area to volunteer his time two times a year helping out on local whale watch boats and at beach clean ups. Today he adopted his 4th whale. If that isn't enough he maintains an active hand in the push for a better tommorow. Sending Origami whales with anti-whaling messages to the IWC and having his friends donate to conservation groups as their gifts to him, I've got to honestly say I wish there were more people out there like him. Thank you Willy for coming by, it was a great pleasure to finally meet you!
As for the rest of the Discovery Center we had a good wave of visitors that I know walked away with more knowledge in their heads(even if it is summer break). The tank is still fully stocked and the Kids Corner is being filled with beautiful works of art made by visitors to our center.
Hope to see more new and old faces soon!
