There were six Metro members with spouses and friends in Sun Valley, among the 150 or so at this year's District Conference. Many thanks to the Emmett club for a well organized event! (Next year it's Nampa's turn). Sun Valley does a great job with lunches and dinners! Our club continued its tradition of almost winning the travel raffle (the winner was from Pocatello) Our silent auction item brought in over $500. Our air guitar video was the highlight of the Club Showcase presentations. The Conference featured some great talks by representatives from Rotary International, and a wonderful Cowboy Poet! Of course, one of the highlights of any District Conference is the introduction of all the inbound and outbound Youth Exchange Kids. They are impressive! The official passing of the gavel featured D.G.Terry Jones handing it over to Nampa's Jennifer Deroin. BTW, after July 1st you can order your Rotary license plate!!
Club awards were presented: we won the Rotary Foundation Award (our per capita giving is over $300 - no other club is even close); Twin Falls After Hours won the other two - Membership and Public Image. The Cruise Raffle took in about $64,200 - ten grand more than last year! Michela sold one of the lesser winners. Finally, not to be forgotten, Scott Swan won a pair of suspenders!
