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,

appreciate your time and consideration and hope that you will partner
with us as we work to protect the environment here on the Osa
Peninsula, a place whose biological diversity has significance around
the globe well as right here at home.

Sincerely,
