Hi John, 

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Elsie Falconer, the new President of Kids for the Boundary Waters. At last night's Boundary Waters Gala we celebrated the 10 years the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters has been fighting to protect our Wilderness. During the program, I officially took over the leadership of Kids for the Boundary Waters.

As we not only look back at what the Campaign has accomplished, we must also look forward for how future generations are going to need to keep stepping up to continue the fight to protect this amazing place. I'm proud and excited to help usher in the next generation of Wilderness Warriors to help protect the Boundary Waters for my generation and all generations to come.

We have a big year in front of us. Next year, we will hold a youth-directed day of action at the Minnesota State Capitol, pushing for our state legislation to protect the Boundary Waters. We will also do our annual fly-in to DC to bring our fight to Washington and continue to push to pass Rep. McCollum's bill to permanently protect the Boundary Waters.

But, I cannot do this alone. We need support to allow kids from across Minnesota and the country (we've even had international participants in past Kids fly-ins to DC!) to join us so their voices can be heard. Will you please donate today so we can provide scholarships and support to kids who need help getting to St. Paul and Washington DC? 100% of your funds given from this email will go directly to the Kids for the Boundary Waters program and support our efforts.

I would also like to thank Joseph Goldstein and all the founding members of Kids for the Boundary Waters. This organization exists and is as strong as it is because of your leadership and vision.

When kids speak up, adults listen! Please help today by making a special gift to Kids for the Boundary Waters so my generation can make our voices heard wherever adults are in the room making decisions about the Boundary Waters.
