Wake County to raise money for
N.C. Zoological Park’s giraffes
The Wake County Chapter
of the North Carolina
Zoological Society announced
this week that information
sheets about the North
Carolina Zoological Park
would be distributed to
students in the Wake County
and Raleigh City Schools
during the early part of May.
As a part of its mem
bership drive, the Society is
attempting to inform all of the
citizens of Wake County of the
project now under way which
will give North Carolina the
Nation’s First State
Zoological Park. This Park
will be no ordinary Zoo and
will have no cages or bars. It
will, however, have many
exotic as well as native
mammals, birds and fish
which will live in the Park in
large natural habitat areas.
The Wake County Chapter
is hoping to raise money
primarily by selling mem
berships in the Zoological
Society which is a charitable
corporation. Proceeds from
the sale of memberships will.
be used to buy animals for the
Park, and the first $28,000.00
raisea in our County will
enable us to donate a pair of
giraffes to the project. Our
giraffes will live together with
Zebra, Antelope, Ostrich, and
other African animals in a
large area of approximately
sixty to sixty-five acres.
The more people who join
the Society the sooner we will
have our Park and the better
it will be. Won’t you help to
provide animals for our Park?
Urge your friends, neighbors
and families to join the North
Carolina Zoological Society.
Send your application and
check to Post Office Box Zoo,
Raleigh, North Carolina
27611.
