Fellow Xterra Club members.... Please pass the word...

We're seeing a great opportunity for a wonderful family day on Father's Day and any other days we can spare... My family and my children love this park. We've been going since 1988 when they had the few benches and with the kidlets since they were born....

Just what we need... another RV park... what a shame (sham?)....

Pass the screw drivers.... and the KatNip....

Please do what you can!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Since 1988 Out of Africa Wildlife Park has been in business on the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation. We have NEVER missed a rent
payment, or payment of the Indian Tax levied on all park income. We have built the park from a few benches, seven big cats, a couple habitats, and few native trees, to 335 animals, hundreds of mature trees over the entire 16 acres. We are known all over the country, and world, as one of the most unique and interactive wildlife parks in the world. Visitors come from everywhere to observe, to experience the love and respect for the animals, and learn from our
educational, and entertaining presentations.

On May 5, 2004, our landlords, the Ft. McDowell Tribal Council presented us with an EVICTION notice. The notice states that the
Ft. McDowell Yavapai Nation will take the following action toward the part property and WILDLIFE. This included seizure, impoundment,
sale and disposal, WILDLIFE disposal, double financial penalties as authorized by TRIBAL LAW, if Out of Africa Wildlife Park, does not completely vacate and restore the land by 5:00 PM this June 30, 2004. That which has taken 16 years to create must now be undone in
30 DAYS. The council has refused our humble request for even a two-week extension and USDA's request (US Dept. regulating animals on exhibit) for even a two-day extension for the park and animals.

We cannot do this without the publics help in volunteering their time to save the animals and park. We had planned to do this ourselves, but over the next 13 months.

We have tractors and trucks lined up to tear down and restore the land to meet the council's requirements for the new RV park they
have planned for this location. There are many individuals and companies offering aid to this bleak situation, but we need more. We are building up north, at our new location in Camp Verde as fast as we can, to get water, electricity, and temporary enclosures built
for the animals.

WE URGENTLY NEED AN ARMY OF VOLUNTEERS, to meed the deadline and save the animals.

Won't you please consider a few hours of your time if you are physically able? Volunteers should come with the following: gloves,
hats, sunscreen, water, food and minimal tools like wire cutters, hammers, small wrenches and one each of flat and phillips screwdrivers, as we do not have enough tools to go around. We
urgently need your help in BOTH locations.

Please tell your friends, neighbors, work associates, and any groups you may know. Your prayers and help are appreciated and greatly needed to with this unexpected race against time.

To VOLUNTEER contact a coordinator, or just show up any day 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
