When the Marlin crew found out our quarterly meeting was going to be at the Springfield Nature Center, we were pretty excited. The chance to venture out of our offices and see this thing called daylight? Yes, please.
When the big day arrived, after a couple of minutes of disorientation (that sunlight stuff is bright), we made our way to the beautiful Nature Center and learned all about what was going on with all the different facets of the Marlin Network. It was, as always, a blast to see everyone and all of the great work they’re doing.
Of course, it just wouldn’t be a Marlin meeting without a little surprise. And what’s more surprising than a auditorium full of snakes?!
Okay, we may be exaggerating when we say “an auditorium full” (it was more like one or two) and the exclamation point was totally uncalled for, but come on—there were snakes! And in answer to the question we know is on the tip of your tongue, we’re not sure why it had to be snakes.
It was actually a lot of fun though. We learned a lot, got a delicious sack lunch—provided by Food IQ—and at the end, everyone got to pet the snake.
You heard us.
