Why I give to CLF ...

"As the parents of five children, my husband and I have always felt very strongly about passing on our love of the outdoors. Now that our two oldest have children of their own, it's become even more important to us to ensure that some part of the environment is maintained so that our grandchildren will be able to continue doing the activities that we've always enjoyed as a family. CLF is uniquely poised to help safeguard the New England region. If I couldn't count on myself going forward to support CLF, I would lose any optimism that I have about the future of the planet. In times like these, we have to rely on institutions like CLF.

We are members of the CLF Champions Club because we've both served as presidents of non-profit organizations and know how important it is to have a steady stream of charitable giving. By having our donation taken out monthly via credit card, we know that CLF will get a regular contribution without our having to think about it."
