The Blue Rhinos
Our promise to you
We, the Blue Rhinos, believe in a strong, close knit group of people working to better our country.
The Explanation
We chose the "Blue Rhinos" as our group name because the rhino represents a thought of strong able bodied creatures. Also, rhinos travel in packs of up to 600! So, being that we want to enhance the close knit feel, we would like to take notes from them. And, blue is a color that egnites creativity.
