LIVING IN PEACE WITH NATURE
Celebrate the Osa - Earth Day Festival 2008

Dear Friends:

On behalf of the Osa Peninsula Earth Day 2008 Committee, we would like to personally invite you to be a part of our celebration honoring the Earth. On Sunday, April 20, 2008, the 4th Annual Osa Peninsula Earth Day Festival is again expected to attract hundreds of participants from communities throughout the Peninsula, providing an opportunity to network and celebrate together the abundance of Nature.
In 2004, the Osa joined with other communities around the world kicking off a festival in downtown Puerto Jimenez with a great showing of community support and involvement. For the past four years, we have continued to build on this success by offering a free event which celebrates the environment and reflects the growing diversity of our community. The Festival hosts numerous environmental exhibits with a wide variety of interactive educational opportunities for children and adults, as well as exciting and diverse live entertainment, musical line-ups, contests and speakers all in a family-fun atmosphere. The theme for this year is Living in Peace with Nature, presenting a variety of practical applications for ecological stewardship.
The Osa Earth Day Festival maintains free admission and when possible, free transportation to draw the largest cross-section from rural communities so that we can celebrate this internationally recognized event in the most inclusive manner. Our Festival’s success depends on financial support from businesses and organizations such as yours.
Enclosed is an overview of the sponsorship levels for the Osa Earth Day Festival 2008, which includes details of the sponsorship benefits. Please note that these benefits include potential print, radio, and television exposure as well as on-site visibility. By sponsoring the Osa Earth Day Festival, you have an opportunity to support the environment and garner positive publicity for your company locally, and exponentially throughout Costa Rica and the world.

Sincerely,

Tricia Stapleton, Tao Watts
