From a fan, please help if you can! On March 23, 2014 I Kaitaline Amber Authement will travel to Washington, D.C. To take part in the Close Up Foundations Washington D.C. civic education program along with students from South Terrebonne High School. Close Up gives students the opportunity to experience their government in action and gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to be engaged citizens. This innovative educational program is run by the close up foundation, the nations leading non-profit, non-partisan civic education organization. Since 1971, Close Up has brought over 750,000 students and teachers from across the country to Washington D.C. to experience firsthand the history, politics, and culture of the nations capital. While on the program, students will participate in a variety of hands on activities such as small group workshops, seminars with Washington D.C. journalists, lobbyists, and embassy officials, and meetings with members of Congress and their staffs. Furthermore, students will learn from and debate with their peers from across the country, exposing them to different attitudes and perspectives. The program cost per student is $1882, and is all-inclusive; travel expenses, academic workshops, meals, lodging, etc.. and truly, the experience of a life time. Because civic education is for everyone and not just the most privileged, I hope you are able to lend a hand in making this valuable educational program available to all students, regardless of financial background. Help me in this effort by contributing at least $10 of the $1882 that I have to raise to go, or or providing a gift of your choice. Every little bit counts. You can also donate to my close up account online. Simply go to closeup.org ,click on Donate and select Sponsor a Student. All you need to enter is my participant ID: 1056478. Close up is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit. Their tax ID # is 23-7122882. Please consult your tax advisor to see if your contribution may be tax deductible.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support, and for making a postitve difference in my life and our community!
