THIS WEEK - CLUB ASSEMBLY
Why are we having a Club Assembly this week?
The board has been planning many events and activities that will hit in September and October. We want to make sure that club members feel well informed about what lies ahead and how to engage. Here are some sneak peaks…
 
Membership - The Membership Challenge with Boise Sunrise! We want to win!!
Let’s start with:
  • Identify some prospects in your network.
  • Review upcoming events to extend invitation.
How can we support you in inviting a prospective member to a future luncheon, fellowship or a service event. 
 
Fellowship - Let's get feedback on fall Fellowship opportunities!
  • 3rd Wednesday Happy Hour – Same place or something new?
  • October 1 Kickball Challenge – Who wants to play? Family/friends can join in!
 
Service –
  • Wetlands Peace Preserve - Review specific details of Sept 13th service project.
  • Grizzly Cave Collection Project – Review specific items we are collecting
  • Dictionary Project – Progress Report including Garfield Elementary School
  • Muffin Project – Tyson’s details on new water project to support.
 
Fundraising –
  • LobsterFest Auction Items – What can I donate? How do I bid?
  • LobsterFest Dinner - October 14th. Join the Boise Metro Table!
  • Fall Out to End Polio Foliage Ride - October 22nd. Where does the ride go?
  • Golf Tournament – Spring 2023
STOCK THE CAVE!
September Service Collection Project!
Have you ever seen a Grizzly Cave? Garfield Elementary School has one! Garfield students are given "Griz bucks" when they are caught displaying values of the school: Respect, Pride, Responsibility, Integrity, and Practicing Safety. Once a week, they can visit the Grizzly Cave and cash in their Griz Bucks for items in the Cave. Items consist of small value to large value. The Cave has been a huge success but it takes a lot to keep it stocked, which oftentimes comes from the school staff donating items. It would be wonderful if Boise Metro could get donations to help the school continue this positive reward system.
What are we collecting?
Small Items: Pencils, Stickers, Snacks, Lollipops, Toys, Games
Children’s books and comic books
$5 to $10 Gift Card Ideas:
  • Food: Jersey Mike's Sub, Mongolian BBQ, Sonic Drive-In, McDonalds, Taco Bell
·        Dessert: Coldstone, Dairy Queen, Westside Drive-In
·        Clothes and General Merch: Fred Meyer, Visa Gift Card
·        Music, Toys or Games: Amazon.com, iTunes, Google Play
 
Can I give Cash or VENMO and let someone else do the shopping? YES! If you VENMO money to Boise Metro, be sure to put a note that it is for “Grizzly Cave”. If you want to give Cash, donate to Charlene or Jeff and we will obtain needed items. We will be collecting items through Tuesday, September 13th. We will present the gifts to Kelly Case at our meeting that day. She is the Community School Coordinator for Garfield.
