Dear Friends,
We would like to thank you - our sponsors, donors, participants, and volunteers - for contributing to the outstanding success fo the tenth annual Brian D. Silber Memorial Golf Tournament. With your support we raised over $95,000 for Brian’s Fund, bringing our total of giving to the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to $1,100,000! We are grateful to you for your support and generosity in the challenging endeavor of understanding and overcoming spinal cord tumors.
The money that we have raised to date for the MGH has been critical in establisihing and supporting the Brian D. Silber Spine Tumor Clinic. The Clinic is committed to high quality patient care, innovative research, and effective educational programs. Thanks to Brian’s Fund much has been achieved at the Clinic, including novel research on the molecular genetics of astrocytomas, an annual lectureship series, and purchase of state-of-the-art clinical equipement that has led to improved patient outcomes. Updates about the Clinic can be found at http://spinetumorcenter.mgh.harvard.edu/. Our goal is to provide the funds to continue this important work with the hope that one day there will be a cure for spinal cord tumors.
Plans are underway for the eleventh annual Brain D. Silber Memorial Gold Tournament which will take place on Wednesday, July 16, 2008, at The Meadow at Peabody, with the dinner reception following at the Hilltop Steak House. We hope that we can count on you again to participate in this special event.
Thank you for making this year’s tournament a succsss and for your camaraderie, loyalth, and support. Working together we can truly make a difference in teh lives of spine tumore patients and their families.
Sincerely,
Sharon and Jason Silber

Dear Ms. Shore,
On behalf of all of us at Zoo New England, I would like to thank you for your participation in our third annual A Wild Affair and for your in-kind donation of a gift certificate which you valued at $25.
This year’s event was an unprecedented uccess and, with your support, raised over $40,000 to directly benefit Stone Zoo. Over 600 people attended the event, and despite some rain showers, had a woerful time sampling food from the 18 restaurants, bakeries and caterers that generously gave their time and resources. In addition we received very strong support from hundreds of individuals and businesses in the community who purchased record numbers of program book advertisements and donated a wide array of auction and raffle items.
A Wild Affair and the resources it generates play a major role in the success of Stone Zoo. Last year the funds from A Wild Affair were usd to make the Birds of Prey show free to all Zoo guests, greatly increasing the viewership of this spectacular program. With the opening of our new meerkat exhibit, Stone Zoo is growing and changing and your generosity and support forms the foundation for this and other new initiatives.
We’re looking forward to an exciting fall and winter at the Zoo. On Saturday, October 20th and Sunday, October 21st we will be hoding our Boo at the Zoo even in celebration of Halloween. Preparations are also underway for ne of Stone Zoo’s most beloved traditions, ZooLights, which will be open every evening from November 23rd to December 30th. We hope to see you at these events or any other time you are able to visit.
Once again, we would like to thank you for participating in a Wild Affair and - most imporantly - for being part of the Stone Zoo community.
Sincerely,
John Linehan, President & CEO
