Greetings from Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Our Nation’s National Parks “make you act like a kid again”! They are wondrous places; complex and fragile. When they are gone, they are gone. And for those of us senior citizens, that is not as big of an issue as it will be for our grandchildren and theirs. We firmly believe in supporting the parks for the future. Because “fun” is worth saving!

Sincerely,
Kendra Helvey
