Dear Ms. Koteva,

Thank you on behalf of our organization for the support you and your company have shown to the Society for the Preservation of Earth's Environment (SPEE). As part of our standard commitment to our valuable sponsors, we have enclosed our annual report covering new developments, ongoing activities, and budget allocations for the past fiscal year. We hope that after reading our report, you will continue supporting our efforts.

In summary, let me begin by stating that the past year has been our most productive since the SPEE was established 10 years ago, but a number of challenges remain. The following are just a few of the highlights you will find inside our report.

We saw record collections in private donations, public organization support, and financial commitments from the business sector. This was aided in part by the launch of our multilingual Web site and the publicity we received from a documentary film shown during the previous year's Earth Awareness celebrations.

Joining our board of directors were two well-respected individuals from the nonprofit sector: Mr. Jonah Gelding and Ms. Heather Leach. Their combined experience working in South Asia and Eastern Europe has helped to increase membership in those regions.

Lastly, we saw the implementation of some new policies governing project administration. As you will soon find out, this has helped us to streamline our actions and produce greater efficiency in spending.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please contact me at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Hazel Grundy

Midland Zoo Opens Crocodile Farm 

Always a favorite among locals, Midland Zoo opened a new attraction for animal lovers yesterday. Adding to more than 40 exhibits of animals from around the world, the zoo's newest facility is a crocodile farm that will serve to educate guests on how crocodiles live, breed, and survive. The farm, which is located at the zoo's man-made lagoon, contains more than 20 Siamese crocodiles. — [1] —. Visitors will have a chance to view the animals at close range through windows in an underwater observatory area. — [2] —. The new site also has a research laboratory used for animal breeding. — [3] —. This was made possible through a partnership between zoo management and a group of biology professors from Central Plains University. "It is necessary for children and adults to appreciate the importance of caring for endangered species as these creatures are essential to maintaining a diverse ecosystem." Midland Zoo manager Joshua Synco said. To increase guests' understanding of the animals, the laboratory's nursery and incubation sections will be open to the public beginning next week. The zoo is also planning to open a new screening facility this weekend. — [4] —. The room seats up to 100 guests and will feature documentary films about crocodiles and other endangered species.
