As Cathy said, this is not a public place...we have lots of pictures of the children looking at the fish in their other two tanks, but written permission from the parents of those children had to be obtained before St. Jude would allow us to post those pictures on our club website.
On another note:
I was excited when our club took over the maintenance of the two 225 gallon tanks in another building at St. Jude. When Barrett and I heard of the new building and the plan to put an aquarium in that building also, we were so excited to be able to do this for the kids...we couldn't wait to get started. I am so proud of my club for being able to participate and facilitate in the creation of such a grand project. I hope the patients enjoy it...which I am sure they will.
