You don’t have to park on our parking lot, there’s street parking, come in for free. You don’t have to buy refreshments at the zoo. All of that you can do and not have to spend a penny. But you can also, and so back then, about half of our operations were funded by the taxes. The other half by money that we generate. By this time, by the time I became director, a third of our money came from taxes, a third from money that we generated, and a third from philanthropy. Our development department raises that money, by you know, our zoo friends, our, what we call the Marlin Perkins Society. Marlin Perkins Society are people who donate at least $1000 a year, and so now there are more than 1000 members in the Marlin Perkins Society, that each give $1000 a year.
