Dear Friends of the
N.E.W. Zoological Society, Inc.,
Joe Draves
I would like to introduce myself: I am Steven M. Bieda,
president of the N.E.W. Zoological Society, Inc. I am
married to my lovely wife Chris and we have one
daughter Marissa. I have been a Green Bay resident
my entire life. I grew up of the west side of Green
Bay and graduated from West High School in 1987.
I went to NWTC and gained an Associate’s degree in
Civil Engineering in 1989. I was employed by Mau &
Associates, LLP., Land Surveying & Civil Engineering as a Land Surveyor right after college.
I worked there for about 10 years and became a partner at Mau in 1999. I took over as the
managing partner upon the retirement of Dave Mau in 2006.
Dr. Tracey Gilbert
I have to give credit to our former president of 15 years, Mrs. Judy Krawczyk. Her love and
affinity for the N.E.W. Zoological Society, Inc. and the NEW Zoo has been never-ending. After
taking over the presidency from her, I can appreciate even more, all the hours she must have
put in to keep things in such great order. There is much to do to keep things running at their
highest level and I am up to the challenge to fill her shoes. Judy, just don’t go too far from your
phone, I have used it quite a few times already and am sure you’re not completely off the hook
yet! (No pun intended) Thank you, Judy for all the years you have dedicated to this group!
Hopefully you have all had the chance to visit our brand new Education Building. It is a fantastic
building and brings many educational opportunities for the community to the NEW Zoo. I have
to give credit to Mrs. Judy Krawczyk for she was our rock star leader when it came to getting that
project off the ground. She was able to generate the funds needed to get the project built. I am
excited to announce this building will be paid in full when the remaining pledges are received.
We have broken ground on our new Animal Hospital and it is an exciting time for our group.
We have reached our first goal in our fundraising efforts for the hospital and have enough
money committed to get our building constructed. We have a long way to go to reach our $1.3
million dollar goal, but we will get there with the support of the community. Our site has been
cleared, our building plans are complete, permits have been attained, and on July 7th, 2014, we
will be “Laying the foundation” for our new Animal Hospital.
The N.E.W. Zoological Society, Inc. is a separate entity from the NEW Zoo. We are the funding
arm and give financial support of the NEW Zoo. The NEW Zoo needs support from outside
sources such as the Society, so that it can continue to keep its accreditation with the Association
of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and continue to function WITHOUT local tax dollars.
Steve Bieda
President, N.E.W. Zoological Society, Inc.

It is hard to believe that another year has passed and we are
into 2014. Your NEW Zoo finished the year with an attendance
number of 218,973 and we had a great year despite the state of
the economy and not to mention the very wet spring and fall. The
recent road construction project on Highway 41 also appeared
to have an impact on return visitors. The Zoo also remained selffunded and ended the year with revenue exceeding expenses. That
is a tremendous accomplishment being that the zoo is 1 of only 8
of the 226 AZA accredited zoos & aquariums in North America
that is self-funded (receiving no tax support) and the only one
that does not have operational support from an endowment fund.
Most zoos are about 60% self-funded. We truly are working with
and towards a sustainable zoo business model. Being sustainable
means we are truly living within our means and a reflection of the
support from the community. The Zoo also attained Travel Green
certified thru the State of Wisconsin and the 1st Zoo in the state
to achieve this honor. The Zoo also received for the 2nd year in
a row Trip Advisors Certificate of Excellence as a 2013 winner
based on the ratings by guests on Trip Advisor. Congratulations
to all who made this a reality and a most significant achievement
for a zoo and its community.
The N.E.W. Zoological Society is our support organization and I like
to say a Zoo Director’s best friend. The Zoo Society is continually
raising funds for new capital improvements as well as helping
out with operational support in some areas. Without a support
organization, we would lack the connection to the fiscal support
and fundraising opportunities within the community that we reside.
The Zoo Society has begun the fundraising efforts to replace
the current animal hospital with a new and modern hospital
that will serve the zoo for the next 20 years. The current animal
hospital was constructed over twenty years ago and has served
the early growth of the Zoo. Fundraising is underway and a
groundbreaking ceremony was held in December. It is anticipated
that this project’s 1st phase will be completed in 2014. Along
with the new animal hospital, the existing animal hospital will be
renovated to expand our current zoo commissary operations with
additional visitor viewing opportunities as staff prepares the daily
animal collection diets.
A new and exciting major attraction next to the Zoo in the
Reforestation Camp began construction in 2013. The new
“Adventure Park “ has opened in May of 2014 and will feature
dueling 1,000 foot long zip lines, an aerial ropes challenge course,
and a climbing wall
where visitors will
be able to test and
challenge themselves
with these exciting
outdoor adventures.
Along with the
new and improved
buildings and
attractions, the zoos
also renovated and
update several infrastructure items which included a new recycled
plastic fenced Fallow deer exhibit, a new roof and HVAC for the
Visitor Center and new blacktop repair and replacement in the
Zoo. Work also began in 2013 to completely renovate the entire
Children’s Zoo and was completed in the spring of 2014.
All areas of the Zoo saw significant accomplishments in 2013 and
are listed in our annual report. As you can see, 2013 was a very
busy year for staff and volunteers. Congratulations and thank
you for all their hard work and efforts to continue to provide
the community with a high quality zoo experience as well as
maintaining the highest standards of our industry.
The NEW Zoo supports the community in many ways. The
zoo has a deep commitment to science, education and wildlife
conservation, but it also generates valuable economic benefits
to the region. It is a great investment for anyone interested in
making a difference in their community. Each year we renew our
commitment to the community by putting the “new” in the NEW
Zoo, growing within our means and providing the community
with a zoo they can be proud of.
In closing I would like to thank you for your support and investment
in your NEW Zoo. Remember, you have a self-funded zoo unlike
any other and it is only thru your support that we can continue
to reflect your community pride. Please, if you haven’t or know
someone who would like to make an investment contact our Zoo
Society. We have a lot of plans but we need continued involvement
from year to year with funding new exhibits (many new exhibits
are planned and waiting for the right donor) as well as operations.
Involvement will help us move from a “good zoo” to a “Great Zoo”!

ANNUAL
EVENTS
14TH ANNUAL “FEAST WITH
THE BEASTS” EVENT
Each year the Society partners with the Wisconsin Restaurant Association
(WRA) to bring a very popular event to the NEW Zoo. In 2013 Pioneer
Credit Union presented the 14th annual “Feast with the Beasts” event that
was held on August 5th. The event was from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. and featured
approximately 40 food, beverage, and music vendors, located throughout the
zoo. Our guests wined & dined while strolling through the beautiful zoo,
listening to music, and visiting with their favorite animals. The cost of the
ticket was $30.00 and the proceeds benefited the WRA-Green Bay Chapter
and the Society’s Education fund. To date the Society’s portion of the Feast
proceeds have totaled close to $140,000.00. Our 15th Annual is all set for
Monday, August 4th, 2014. Come out and see what it is all about! Thank you

1 Annual
“Skunks are Beautiful”
Cribbage Tournament
st
On Thursday, April 18th, 2013 the Society
hosted its first annual “Skunks are Beautiful”
Cribbage Tournament. The event took place in
the ski lodge at the NEW Zoo. 46 two man/
woman teams ate dinner, enjoyed beverages, and
played cribbage from 7:00p.m.until 10:00p.m.
The evening included three 50/50 raffles, silent
auction items, complimentary dinner and
popcorn, payouts to the top 10 teams, and a
whole lot of fun. The proceeds from this event
helped to fund the Society’s Operating fund. We
hope to build on this event each year. Thank
you to our wonderful sponsors!

BRICK PROGRAM
The Society updated and improved
on the brick program, at the zoo,
three years ago. Today all engraved
bricks are placed in stainless steel
frames, off the ground, at the
entrances of our animal exhibits.
The laser engraved bricks wear better and can be seen year round.
Personalized bricks make great gifts for a birthday, wedding,
anniversary, employee or boss appreciation, pet appreciation,
remembering a loved one, or for the person who has everything.
Purchasing a personalized brick will help build the NEW Zoo and
serve as a memorial for all to enjoy.
The N.E.W. Zoological Society, Inc. relies on brick sales to help
offset the costs of operating expenses.
MEMORIAL BENCHES PROGRAM
NATURAL RIVER ROCK BENCH
The hand crafted natural river rock
bench is designed of two natural
river rocks and a hand polished
granite seat 39” x 16” x18”. The raised
arm of the bench is the perfect place

needed to support the mission of the Society.

VOLUNTEERS
My name is Elizabeth Bomber and I have been volunteering at the NEW Zoo & Adventure
Park for five and a half years. My adult children moved out of state and I found myself
a little lost and looking for something to fill the void I felt with my kids so far away. My
husband and I love animals and visit the Zoo often. During one of those visits I noticed
the We Love our Volunteers sign up on the Visitor Center. That sign set the wheels in
motion and I decided that this was something I would love to do. I have been visiting the
Zoo all of my life, since before it was even called a Zoo. We just called it the Reforestation
Camp back then! I have great memories of my visits and thought that being a part of the
Zoo’s success would be a great way to feel needed again. Well let me tell you, being a
New Zoo & Adventure Park Volunteer has exceeded my expectations!! Not only do I feel
needed, I feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that I’m making a difference.

My main volunteering time is done with the Giraffe Feeding Experience. I sell the food to
guests and, while they feed and interact with Hodari and Zuri, I answer any questions they
ask. Even some that they don’t think to ask. I always tell my friends, “I don’t know much
about a lot of things, but you can ask me almost anything about giraffes!” I also help out
where ever I’m needed at any given time. I love helping at the events, especially Zoo Boo!
I have done some office work, run the Carousel, and I’ve done some cleaning and raking
too! The bottom line is that the Zoo is my Happy Place! I have a fulltime job and I can’t
wait for that time when I can retire so I can spend a lot more time in my Happy Place!
Last but not least. I have met so many wonderful people at the Zoo that I now count
as my friends. I can’t say enough about my “Zoo Friends”. From Zoo staff to fellow
Volunteers and even Zoo guests, I feel my life has been enriched beyond words. Getting
the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park Volunteer of the Year Award was a great surprise and the
ultimate thank you! But it is I who thank them for allowing me to be part of the New Zoo
& Adventure Park family!

– several of them endangered – call
the NEW Zoo home and depend on
individualized care and attention.
The New Animal Hospital will provide
for current and future needs of
preventative, medical and surgical
