Greetings!
Do you ever wonder about the future? I do. All the time. Sometimes it excites me and sometimes it terrifies me.
Yesterday, I was reminded why it excites me. I got to mingle with science and engineering students at Seattle Pacific University and find out what they hope to do with their careers. Their hopes and dreams are awesome! Alex, a female engineering student, wants to design more sustainable systems for cities and businesses. Bree hopes to combine her love of chemistry and athletics to engineer better shoes and athletic equipment. I spoke with student after student that wanted to make something new to improve our world. This fills me with hope.
There are many reasons that Pacific Rim Institute exists. Today, I want to remind you of just one of those reasons: To inspire and develop new leaders that will protect and improve our shared home.
If you share this vision, will you please make a gift today? Your donation of $10, $50, $100 or $500 will allow us to offer more internships, create more education opportunities and inspire new leaders.
It is your generosity that makes this possible!
With many thanks and warm regards,
Holly M. Kress, CNP

Use our new prairie guides for FREE!
We recently published a small guide to prairies on Whidbey Island. We donated a set to the Coupeville Middle school and we have another set (30 books) available to loan out for your own education programs (FOR FREE). These books were written with the middle school age in mind, but have elements that can engage any reader. This book was created by our former intern, Lydia Roush, with support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife as the outreach portion of our larger Golden paintbrush project. We hope this book will help educate the younger generation and their parents about the fastest disappearing ecosystem in Washington. If you are interested in seeing the book or borrowing the set, contact Holly Kress at holly@pacificriminstitute.org or (360) 678-5586.
