500
Right this minute, Ernest is completing his 500th hour volunteering at the zoo. He is a C-I-T for Zoo Camp this week. He's been working hard to accumulate 500 hours by the end of the year -- the reward is a 50 year membership to the zoo. (Starting in 2010, 2000 hours will be required!)

That's an amazing thing he's done!
500 hours?! Wow! Will he continue volunteering in 2010? I love the 50 year membership idea.
And what a nice idea to have the 8th graders do community service. Hopefully, they'll look at it as more than just fulfilling a requirement and will see the value in helping others.
That is such a big committment - great for him and for mom getting him to and from!
What an incredible kid you have there....that's awesome!
And what a great idea for the school to encourage volunteering like that...more schools should do that!!
