Barb M. has been a Rotarian for a hundred years, and her dad and granddad before her. She found these official Rotary memorabilia in her bottom drawer and she wonders if anyone would be interested in purchasing them for their own Rotary collection! She'll donate proceeds to the club.
As we head into Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, it's time once again for us to think of youth in the JEMfriends transitional homes in our gift giving.
If you see something you wish to purchase, please put your name on that row so we don't accidentally double up. On the list, you'll see gifts in all sizes, from $10 to $200.
If going to stores doesn't thrill you, just buy online and ship it to my attention at RedBuilt, 200 E. Mallard Drive, Boise 83706. Several items have links supplied.
We received the wishlist early this year, so we have a whole month to get things purchased. As in past years, we'll wrap the gifts, and sign some group cards, at our holiday fellowship event (date TBD).
We expect to hear soon from Ben Davidson about setting us up for a panel of judges to hear an Entrepreneur pitch his/her ideas. In the meantime, here's the link to their November newsletter:
For the next two weeks, we'll do a food drive for Women United for their annual Holiday Helper event. They'll make up care packages for homeless teens. Please bring tuna pouches, peanut butter, or other protein rich foods. You can also contribute money - make checks payable to United Way of Treasure Valley. Thanks for your gererosity!
Cornelia reports that we contributed three boxes of food and some cash! Distribution will be to homeless high school students.
After-Hours Event Opportunities comng up. These are free to attend. 5-7 PM. Our members are welcome to attend, mingle, and spread the word about what a great Rotary club we have!
