Black  River Audubon Society March Penguin Event
 
Many of us as children can fondly  remember going to the zoo to see exotic 
animals, like penguins cavorting in the  snow. For many of us these remain 
only as memories. For Tom Leiden, the study of  penguins has become an 
important part of his life.  

Leiden, CEO and President of the Leiden  Cabinet Company, will present his 
talk, Day in the Life of an African Penguin,  March 6 at 7 pm at the 
Carlisle Reservation Visitor Center, 12882 Diagonal Road,  LaGrange. 
“I have always been fascinated by penguins,” explained Leiden, “And in 
2007 we jumped at the chance to go on an  expedition with EarthWatch to Robben  
Island, South  Africa to assist researchers studying the  African penguin.” 
The enlightening experience left them hooked, according to Leiden. He and 
his wife,  Kathy traveled back to South  Africa seven more times to visit the 
penguins  and help researchers. Leiden will discuss the plight of the 
African  penguin and what we can do to help. 

Leiden is a Trustee at Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration and an 
Honorary Trustee of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. 
This free program is sponsored by the Black River Audubon Society.
