Dallas Zoo Friends,

Shelly and I could not be more proud and excited to be chairing Zoo To Do 2012. Over the past twenty-one years, Zoo To Do has served as the major source of fundraising for the Dallas Zoological Society. This year's theme Go Big or Go Home celebrates 21 years of success for the Dallas Zoo.

From the privatization of the Zoo's management in October 2009, the opening of the amazing Giants of the Savanna in May 2010, and to the opening of the new Koala Walkabout in 2012, Zoo To Do 2012 will not only culminate years of stunning achievements, but also celebrate the future of the Dallas Zoo.

Zoo To Do 2012 will provide support to the Dallas Zoo by funding capital projects, public relations and marketing efforts, education programs and so much more. As we continue to grow, your support has never been more critical to the Dallas Zoo's success, and we invite you to participate as a sponsor this year.

Please join Shelly and me on Saturday, November 3, from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm for a uniquely fun, relaxed party where guests sample exquisite dishes from Dallas's premier restaurants and chefs. In addition to the fabulous food, Zoo To Do guests will enjoy the sensational music of Downtown Fever, and the opportunity to bid on some very special and unique items during the live and silent auctions.

We look forward to seeing you at Zoo To Do 2012!

Shelly and Tom Codd
