A Wild Night A menagerie of the Dallas Zoo's most ardent supporters migrated to Fair Park for the annual Zoo to Do fundraiser. Just as birds instinctively alter their behavior to match the weather, Zoo to Do co- chairs (and mother/daughter duo) Mary McDermott Cook and Grace Cook followed their instincts when weather threatened their plans. Two dozen animals ventured with them to a new location — Centennial Hall — for the wild night that included African penguins, Caribbean flamingos, lizards, snakes, and porcupines. Giant glowing lanterns in the shape of beloved species lined the entryway as guests arrived in their best Safari noir attire. Zoo to Do stands out as one of the most delicious fundraisers in Dallas. This year, chefs from 36 local restaurants offered perfectly executed bites for the strolling dinner, including Goodwin's, Salum, Monarch, Truluck's, Cafe Momentum, and Petra and the Beast, among others. Seen: Dan Patterson, Ruth Mutch, Marena and Roger Gault, Matrice and Ron Kirk, Purvi and Bill Albers, Cindy and Chuck Gummer, Kim and Greg Hext, Carol and John Levy, Carol and Don Glendenning, Jennifer and Peter Altabef, Diane and Hal Brierley, Christina and Rob Swift, and Shawna and Josh Hinkel.
