<br>
The <b>McCall Outdoor Science School</b> is being threatened by a pending vote
by the Idaho State Land Board to increase our annual lease payment from $55,535
to $274,500. It is unlikely that the University of Idaho or the MOSS
program will be able to afford this drastic lease increase thereby threatening
our ability to continue programs in the future.<br>
<br>
<b>We need your help now!<br>
</b><br>
Write, email, and call Governor “Butch” Otter, members of the State
Land Board, the University of Idaho President, your local state legislators,
and the Director of Idaho State Parks and Recreation and tell them, from the
heart, the value the MOSS program has for you, your students, your kids, your
state! Encourage them to seek solutions that will save this valuable
program. <br>
<br>
<b>Show them that the “highest and best use” of this beautiful
campus is not residential or commercial development, but education for our
children.<br>
</b><br>
Visit <a href="http://www.mossfriends.org">www.mossfriends.org</a> for more
information on this important issue, contact information for our state
leadership, and possible solutions.<br>
<br>
We can’t win this fight without you. <b>Please ACT NOW</b> and ensure
that the future schoolchildren of Idaho have a chance at a MOSS experience.<br>
