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

During the first half of 2007, more than 5,400 individuals received 3-5 days worth of food through the Pantry Shelf - a 12% increase over the same period last year.  The number of children served has increased by 15% and the number of those over ge 60 by 36%.  The number of counseling sessions conducted through New Directions has increased by 15%.  Counselors haveheld more than 900 therapy sessions for adults, children, families, and couples.  Many of our clients do not have health insurance cverage and utilize our sliding scale fee structure.  Requests for financial assistance continue to reach new heights; many families strugle to make ends meet.  We are able to serve so many because of thoughtful contributions from people like you.

As we celebrate our 60th year of “strengthening family life and offering assistance” we will continue our efforts to reach out to our neighbors in need. We will expand the servicesof New Directions Counseling so that we may meet the increased demand for our services.  We will strive to increase the availability of meat, dairy, and produce items in the Pantry Shelf.  New workshops will be offered to Career Closet clients.
