Because of your <br /> strong support, several other municipalities have joined in funding our efforts to inform <br /> the residents of the surrounding communities of all of the many outreach cultural and <br /> educational events that are produced by various departments at this Campus. As a result, <br /> we have been able to inform more than 150,000 residents each month, through direct <br /> mail, Miami Herald newspaper advertising, and direct mail to more than 250 <br /> condominiums. As a result, more than 2500 residents have attended these events, with <br /> high praise being offered by most of the attendees. Residents of the City of Sunny Isles <br /> Beach have made up a substantial number of those attending. <br /> Under separate cover, we have sent you materials describing the events of the past year, <br /> and our methods of publicizing them to local residents. <br /> This coming year (2005/2006), the University will continue to offer more than 200 adult <br /> educational/cultural/entertainment events open to the public. In addition,the Society will <br /> continue to sponsor the very popular"2"d Tuesday at Biscayne Bay campus"events. <br /> For your files, the following pages contain a description of our activities, and a narrative <br /> proposal. <br /> Again, we thank you for your continued support and encouragement.
