Get ready to enjoy the ultimate summer party on July 13th when the Women's Board of Lincoln Park Zoo presents "The GREAT CATSby", Zoo Ball 2012. Envision yourself on the grounds of an elegant mansion in the Hamptons - a sprawling lawn, a striped tent, a cool blue reflecting pool, and masses of colorful flowers. Breeze into the Leopard Lounge, where you'll find a silent auction filled with treasures and pleasures sure to catch your eye. Pose for the photographers in a one-of-a-kind setting framed by the stars of the evening - the glorious big cats of Lincoln Park Zoo. Stroll through the garden while enjoying a cocktail made with a shot of merriment and a spritz of glamour.

A chorus of Lincoln Park Zoo felines summons you to dinner served under sparkling chandeliers at tables awash in summer flowers of pink, blue and green. Afterwards, dance the night away to "pawsitively" fabulous music. Enjoy after dinner cordials, sweet treats and coffee in the Leopard Lounge. And, as the evening comes to an end - as all great parties must - you'll leave with memories of a GREAT celebration of summer, friends, and our beautiful zoo.
