Dear Mr. Johnson:
Responding to the needs of the community is a high priority to ExxonMobil. As such, we are
pleased to present a check in the amount of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) from
ExxonMobil to the Baytown Nature Center in support of it's educational programs "Discovering
Nature's Secrets".
ExxonMobil reviews each contribution on an annual basis and strives to support as many local
organizations as possible. Baytown has a large number of worthwhile organizations. As a result,
please note that we may need to rotate funds to other organizations in the future.
In any public recognition of this support, please refer to "ExxonMobil" only, since this is from all
the Baytown Area facilities.
