The North American Junior Olympics reaches out to you to feed the needs of national youth paddling for the 2009 Ray McLain JO Paddlers Fund. The 2008 campaign received $1320, paid out $1178 but still owes $2000 for medals and costs related to the 2008 Festival in Wausau, WI. The new Festival scheduled for July 4-12 in upper Ontario, Canada will have similar expenses. In addition we would like to help out the 2009 National Junior Slalom Team for individual expenses to Foix, France for the Junior Pre-World Championships.
