Wild and Scenic Institute is a 501 c 3 non profit organization whose mission is to provide free outdoor recreation and environmental education programs to disadvantaged youth of the greater Seattle area. We develop physical and emotional confidence in these youth who due to their physical, cultural, or financial barriers would not otherwise have this
opportunity. We take kids into the rivers and mountains of the cascades to help develop the skills and instill the passion that will create a generation of advocates for preservation. Our 2007 summer and fall programs include the Upper Skagit Rafting Adventure, Sauk Rafting Adventure and Tieton Rafting Adventure. These programs will be
coordinated with Seattle Parks and Recreation and will benefit the homeless teens of Youthcare, disabled youth of south Seattle, ELL (English Language Learners) from the city of Tukwila and disadvantaged kids from around our area.

If you can not attend Texas Hold Em #4 but would still like to support WSI
please mail your donation to PO Box 99011 Seattle WA 98199.

For those that want to stretch before the card game. I am going to show up in an hour or so and kick it in the water for a few before the games begin.
