In 2008, Lyn originated a one-woman public service campaign and voter rally in New Bedford, Massachusetts to get people interested in voting. For the finale of the event, and for the first time in history, Lyn produced the two live mascots –out of thin air! Yes, a donkey and an elephant! The illusion made the national news and helped pave the way for the second phase of Lyn’s vision and mission. She created “Your Vote is Magic” which is a visual civics lesson designed to teach and inspire future voters in grades 5-12. Empowering and educational, her presentation magically weaves a sense of wonder with a sense of civic responsibility. This is a unique resource for civic groups, libraries, educators and parents.
