1. You have already read about my concept of the pocket adventure. Swimming in all five Great Lakes has long been a goal of mine, and this was a more exciting way to finish my list, and revisit those lakes I've already enjoyed.
2. The NWF/GLRC not only fits our theme, but addresses issues that are fundamentally important to everyone, no matter where they live. Thirty million people live in the Great Lakes Basin, but the effects of the Great Lakes on global economics, politics, and the environment are much greater than that.
A few of the most important things NWF/GLRC does include public outreach regarding the effects of global warming and the development of alternative sources of energy. Solving those problems are vitally important to the lives of our children and grandchildren, because they are driving forces in economics, national security, and the quality of life in general.
I can't think of any more pressing concerns than that, and I thank my new friends at the Great Lakes Regional Center for their important work.
We are in the process of setting up a web site to enable on-line giving for our Great Lakes adventure this summer. Check back for a link!
