YPD "Zoo (Brew) House" Scavenger Hunt August 14th, 2011 Young Professionals Division (YPD) took to the zoo for a biblical scavenger hunt on Sunday, August 14. Clues and maps in hand, 9 teams raced to answer a list of detailed questions in just 60 minutes. Competition proved intense, coming down to a tie-breaker question. But in the end only one team could walk away with the prize: a Visa gift card for each. The winning team included Alexandra Braun, Erez Haluf, Sara Haluf, and Sara Melnick. Photos here.
