A Letter Of Appreciation and a Call To Action!

The Lake Erie Nature & Science Center staff, Board of Directors and program participants wish to express our heart-felt gratitude for the early and generous support to our year-end appeal. As we close out another year teaching an appreciation for our fascinating natural world and rehabilitating sick and injured wildlife at no charge to the public, we are fortunate that our non-profit mission is valued by a community of caring animal and nature lovers.

We are especially grateful this year to have a wonderful incentive to encourage our old friends to give a little more and to invite new friends to join our circle of supporters. The Kelvin & Eleanor Smith Foundation is matching dollar for dollar, up to $500 per person, each new or increased gift to Lake Erie Nature & Science Center’s Annual Appeal. It’s not too late to respond to this exciting Foundation challenge, but time is running short. The deadline to earn the remaining matching funds is December 31, 2007.

We hope all of you who have been touched by our 57-year legacy in the Westside community will consider including a donation to Lake Erie Nature & Science Center in your year-end giving. You can even donate online and we'll confirm your eligibility for a match. Thanks again to all of our supporters. Hope to see you at the Center soon!
Happy Holidays!
