Our Delaware Valley September 8, 2024  7:30AM 20 minutes of a 30-minute program Al Zone, Executive Director and CEO of Elmwood Park Zoo discusses the 100 anniversary year events, programming and new additions at the neighborhood landmark.  Created as a land trust in 1924, they grew from a facility for North and South American animals into a home for over 100 species from all over the globe including giraffes, zebras, bald and golden eagles, jaguars, and red pandas, a number of which are managed through an international Species Survival Plan.  They are one of only 230 institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.  He discussed the importance of this designation and how their work supports the conservation and protection of these animals and their habitats across the country.  To showcase their efforts a visit is narrated by their work in creating habitats, and allows guests to see feedings and even veterinary care.  He discussed how the zoo offers programming for all with zip-lines and beer gardens to make it a full day of activities.  The zoo pioneered inclusion for children and adults with autism or special needs and were the first zoo in the world to earn certification as a Certified Autism Center with special admission hours, sensory backpacks and guides and even adult changing tables.  They were the first to add pet-friendly programming and offer ‘Yappy Hour' events. To celebrate their anniversary there are centennial Saturdays the first Saturday of the month with special programming and early admittance for members.  The 100th Anniversary Gala will take place November 2 at the Oaks Expo Center, tickets are now on sale, as well as for the annual Beast of a Feast October 10th, featuring food stations and evening entertainment throughout the zoo.  For Halloween family fun there's Boo At The Zoo.   Elmwood Park Zoo is located at 1661 Harding Blvd. in Norristown, PA, for tickets, memberships and visiting information go to elmwoodparkzoo.org.

Shannon is joined by Emmy Award-Winning journalist Gabriela Teissier and Sue O'Shea the Senior Director of Marketing at Visit Anaheim. Visit Anaheim has taken the unprecedented step to become a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC), which is a designation granted by the International Board of Credentialling and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). IBCCES awards this credential to organizations whose staff have completed specialized training and a certification process to better understand and assist autistic and sensory-sensitive visitors and their families.  Visit Anaheim's designation as a Certified Autism Center signifies the organization's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. Ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can experience the magic of the destination is a top priority for the organization. The Visit Anaheim team completing the CAC program is the first step in Visit Anaheim's initiative to make Anaheim the next Certified Autism Destination™ (CAD), which means visitors have multiple trained and certified options to choose from when in the area, including entertainment, recreation and hospitality options. Visit Anaheim has partnered with IBCCES to involve key tourism, hospitality, and recreation organizations in the community to complete autism training and certification, helping earn the community designation to attract new visitors to the area and better serve residents. On February 14th Visit Anaheim will host a ReConnect Event: Autism and Sensory Needs Certification from 3-8pm at the Great Wolf Lodge.  This event will help local businesses and attractions gain information about including and supporting individuals on the spectrum and their families as well as gaining certification. Gabriela Teissier will be the guest speaker for the event.  Teisseir serves on the board of directors of Autism Care Today!  Email kgrass@visitanaheim.org for more information. #visitanaheim #CertifiedAutismCenter

Prior to joining the Academy, Sticka consulted for nonprofit organizations and co-founded the Zoot Theatre Company in Dayton, Ohio."I think music has changed the world. I think if you look at most social movements that have challenged the status quo and challenged even just the establishment at the time, there's been a soundtrack to those movements. And I think that is what maintains and fosters the movement and fosters the people to get behind it. So there's no question that music can change the world. It already has.It's actually right in our mission statement that 'we celebrate the music of yesterday and today to inspire the music of tomorrow.' And we do it through our exhibits. We have 35,000 square feet of galleries. We travel exhibits, really, all over the world over the world for the past 15 years. And through our education programs, we really focus on the next generation of music's creators and leaders. We do that through really specific curricula that is designed to educate particularly young people, K-12, about the business of music, especially for those who want to go into the industry."Grammymuseum.orgIG, FB, TW: @grammymuseumwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org

We have something called Mono to Immersive, which actually takes a Bruno Mars and Cardi B performance at the GRAMMY Awards, and we put guests/listeners into a room, and they watch this performance. And we had Grammy-winning engineers mix these performances. What would that Bruno Mars and Cardi B performance sound like if it were mono sound - so records, wax cylinder? Think about that. And then what about on cassette? And then what about on MP3? And then now on streaming? And then what we call immersive, which is surround sound? So we really try to walk visitors through the history of recorded sound and how much technology has changed, not just the recording process, but the listening experience as well."Grammymuseum.orgIG, FB, TW: @grammymuseumwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org

Music is everywhere, so we feel to the extent possible that we need to scale our education programs to as many cities as possible.So what do we do? We have our signature school programming, which provides needed grants to public schools for music education, particularly purchasing instruments or anything else they may need for the learning experience. We have our Summer Session, which we just actually did in New York for the first time a couple of weeks ago as our Songwriting Camp. We have Career Day. There are musicians in cities all over the country. So how do we use our relationships to connect professionals with students and schools throughout the country? The most exciting part is the ability to take our education programming and bring it to towns that aren't epicenters of music… we bring our brand, resources, connections, and relationships to cities that have just as robust of a music scene or students that want to be a part of the industry.”Grammymuseum.orgIG, FB, TW: @grammymuseumwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org
