Dear Naomi,
On behalf of all of us at Zoo New England, I would like to thank you for your participation in A Wild Affair: The Stone Zoo Centennial Celebration, and for your donation of a $50 gift certificate to Bernie and Phyl’s Furniture to our silent auction.
Thanks to friends like you, A Wild Affair raised over $30,000, which will directly benefit the many vital programs at Stone Zoo - from conservation and education, to the care of our animals. As well, your contribution will ensure that Stone Zoo can continue to provide fun, safe and enlightening experiences for visitors.
A Wild Affair exceeded our wildest expectations - not only marking Stone Zoo’s 100″ year with an evening as unique and fun as the Zoo itself but also generating a tremendous outpouring of support. With 16 fabulous restaurants participating, dozens of local businesses and individuals donating silent auction
items and more than 500 tickets sold. this was truly a success - a success made by your support, as well as the extraordinary efforts of everyone in our community who joined you in contributing to A Wild Affair.
In fact, given the enthusiastic response, we have decided to make it an annual event!
Once again, we would like to thank you for participating in A Wild Affair and - most importantly - for being part of the Stone Zoo community. We look forward to working with you to make the next hundred years of Stone Zoo even more memorable than the first.
We hope to see you often in the coming year, and - of course - hope that you will join us again next fall for A Wild Affair 2006.
Sincerely,
John Linehan
President & CEO
