Lawyers and Tigers and Bears – May 5! MBA Friends & Family Night at the Elmwood Park Zoo

On a cold January afternoon earlier this year, MBA President Sarinia Feinman delivered her inauguration address during which she indicated the need for a return to normalcy and in-person gatherings and events once we are all safely able to do so. President Feinman highlighted a few in-person events planned for 2022 that will allow us all to reconnect and enjoy the socialization that is so important to our association. Among those events mentioned were the return of the Annual Dinner Dance, Lawyerpalooza, and other traditional events. President Feinman also announced a brand-new family-focused event: an evening at the Elmwood Park Zoo.

Founded in 1924, the Elmwood Park Zoo currently hosts over 100 species of animals from throughout the world, including giraffes, zebras, bald eagles, jaguars, and red pandas. In addition to the animals on exhibit, the zoo boasts a full zip line and ropes course dubbed Treetop Adventures – the only such attraction in Pennsylvania that features zip lines over animal exhibits. The zoo welcomes over 500,000 visitors annually and is one of only 230 institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

The Elmwood Park Zoo is truly one of Montgomery County’s many treasures. The fact that it is located less than 2 miles from the Montgomery Bar Association cemented the venue as THE place to hold a fun family event for our members.

Enter Lawyers and Tigers and Bears – May 5 – an exclusive VIP visit and Cinco De Mayo celebration for our members, friends, and extended families.
