What could be more wildly romantic? "SEX AND THE CITY ZOO 3," a Valentine's Day event celebrating animal mating, dating and cohabitating, is presented by the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA) on Sunday, February 12, 2012, 5 to 7 pm, in the Zoo's Witherbee Auditorium. The lighthearted, adults-only affair begins with a reception featuring tempting desserts and alluring wines followed by a provocative presentation by Zoo veteran Jason Jacobs with insights about the relationships in the animal kingdom. Proceeds from the fund-raiser, the third annual, support the Zoo’s mission of wildlife preservation and conservation.
Jacobs, L.A. Zoo's director of public relations and marketing, has worked in zoos since he was 13 years old. "Spending almost every day of my life in a zoo for more than twenty years and coming of age amid a menagerie has given me a unique perspective on the birds and the bees," he says, promising a presentation that is humorous as well as enlightening.
For nearly five decades, the private, non-profit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, founded in 1963, has funded exhibits, plant and animal species conservation, capital projects, and education and community outreach programs at the Los Angeles Zoo, an international leader in the preservation of endangered species and a conservation center for the care and study of wildlife. GLAZA also builds and invests endowment funds and operates five essential departments on behalf of the Zoo, including development, publications, membership, volunteers and oversight of the Zoo's food/retail concessions. There are currently 72,000 GLAZA member households representing more than 300,000 adults and children, the largest membership base of a cultural organization in Los Angeles, and a volunteer corps of over 700.
The Los Angeles Zoo is located at 5333 Zoo Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027, in Griffith Park at the junction of the Ventura (134) and Golden State (5) freeways.
Tickets are $25 per person for GLAZA members, and $35 per person for non members. (Adults only.) Seating is limited, and reservations are required by February 8. Call 323 644-6042 for reservations. www.lazoo.org
