Several weeks ago, Adrian Gallo from the Idaho Conservation League gave us a very informative talk on solar energy. He returns this week with a different topic - the history of environmental policy.
The Annual United Way of Treasure Valley Children's Book Drive is March 11-29. Look around your house (or the grandkids) for gently used kids books and bring them to the next two Rotary meetings. We'll see that they get delivered to the drop off location. Then, April 1-5 you can volunteer to clean and sort the books.
I am reaching out to introduce myself and provide you with information about the 2024 Wetland Peace Preserve project dates to share with your members. My name is Audrie Floyd and Laurie Zuckerman has been training me these past few months to become the Wetland Peace Preserve’s new Volunteer Coordinator. I am very excited to be assisting Rotarians, Interactors, and friends in getting out to the preserve once a month to address the current needs.
Ramadan is the holy month of the Islamic calendar. It’s a month-long period of fasting, (3/10 to 4/9) followed by a feast day celebration that’s also a day of giving gifts and doing acts of kindness. For you Christians, you might think of like Lent, followed by Christmas Day! 😊 To acknowledge our local refugee community, many of whom are Muslim, our club will once again support the Ramadan Grocery Project this year.
