Photographer and Nashville Zoo docent, Rebecca Martin, joined us on a 2020 summer club outing to the zoo and provided so much insightful and interesting information about the animals. AbleVoices participant, Alex, was so inspired by learning about the tigers that he went home, did more research, put together a Power Point presentation, and shared it with his family later that day!
Lana VanPamel is a graduate of the Centennial High School Transition 2 program, an AbleVoices photographer, and talented artist. She helps out AbleVoices by hand-drawing our logo on bags used to sell our photo greeting cards at local farmer’s markets and fairs and on our website. Thanks to Lana for her special added touch!
