Elk River was the scene last night of the latest Say Yes to No conversation.  With over 500 people present, the best words spoken were from a young 10 year-old girl, Savaana, who hearing about Say Yes to No at school wanted to say something to the parents.
 These are her words:

“Hi! I’m Savaana and I am here to talk to you about my experience with
                Say Yes to No!
When my teacher gave me this paper I thought OK this sounds interesting!
                Thumbs up yah!
                Thumbs down Nah!
It’s cool not to have a mom or dad that always says yes.  I love my mom and dad because they say No sometimes!  But I know in those times they love me most.

I hope parents here tonight learn to say yes to No to their children because that’s teaching them the reality of life!

            Parents who say No love most!”
