This week, the Oak Cliff Lions Club hosted Dallas Zoo Chief Executive Officer Lisa New at its weekly club meeting and presented her with a grant for $2,000 to help support the mission of this treasured Oak Cliff icon. 

Presented by President Lion Bobby Allen, New graciously accepted the donation and offered remarks about her experience, as well as how the Dallas Zoo had been a model for her during her time in Knoxville, especially for the Giants of Savannah exhibit.

The Oak Cliff Lions Club meets weekly at or near Methodist Hospital of Dallas on the corner of Beckley and Colorado. For more information about upcoming meetings, membership and other ways to support the club's activities, visit www.oakclifflions.org.
