Interest Outing to Buttonwood Zoo
 A group of NEV residents took full advantage of a beautiful September Sunday by visiting and picnicking at the Buttonwood Park Zoo in New Bedford.  The zoo, which has been named “… one of the finest small zoos in the United States,” lived up to its reputation and made for a very enjoyable fall afternoon for everyone.
