Our speaker this week will be Lisa Jameson from the Freedom Youth Foundation (FYF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to making a significant impact in the lives of the children that need us the most, particularly those in foster care. Our mission is multifaceted: we provide sports clinics, financial literacy education, mentorship, and employment training to empower these youth in building successful futures.

THAT'S A LOT OF DIAPERS!

Last Tuesday afternoon we did a project for the Idaho Diaper Bank by re-packing some 1700 size 1 diapers! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to help out! Many hands make short work!

CHAMBER AFTER HOURS

Sign-up to Network at a Boise Metro Chamber Business After Hours

The Boise Metro Rotary has joined the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce which offers a great way to network and get interest in Rotary by attending the free monthly Business After Hours and Trade Shows. There is a schedule when you sign in at our weekly lunches to sign up to attend a month. The events run from 5-7pm on typically the last Thursday of each month and moves to various business locations, which are included on the sheet.

If you have any questions ask Carrie or a member of the membership team.

NEW CONTEST - CONNECTOR OF THE MONTH

Posted by Carrie Westergard

The Board of Directors and Membership Committee have launched a Connector of the Month program through the end of June 2024.

Boise Metro Rotarians are invited to bring a potential member prospect to a weekly lunch and will receive 1 entry for each guest into the monthly Connector of the Month drawing. The entries will be for member prospects only, not guests such as family or friends you are inviting to hear a specific speaker.

The drawing will be held on the last Tuesday of the month for a $25.00 Downtown Boise Association Gift Card.
