Don't forget - this week is our first visit to the Stonehouse. We were last there in 2020ish when Covid shut everything down. We can look forward to a nice buffet style lunch (probably not Pizza!)
This week we'll hear from Ashley Smith representing the College of Western Idaho. She'll explain their expansion plans (which are amazing!) https://cwi.edu/
This coming Saturday (which is our normal clean-up day anyway) is the "End of Float Season Greenbelt Cleanup" sponsored by 94.7 The River. Meet at {Payette Brewery at 10:00am. Party to follow. We will be assigned our usual route.
JEMFRIENDS is holding their annual Golden Gala on September 20th at JUMP. They are one of the organizations that we support through our golf tournament. So, we have purchased a table for 8 at the event for $1,000. Come hear inspirational stories from the youth who are participating, a live auction, raffle and more. Doors open at 5:00, the events starts at 6:00. We need four couples to accept the invitation. Let Mary know if you want to attend.
Have you ever had your bike ride cut short because Goatheads flattened your tires? Well, you can get your revenge at a special Weed Warriors event on September 4th. Location is Veterans Park. Be there at 8am. Watch your inbox, No need to sign up, just be there! By the way, everyone will get a coupon for free beer at Lost Grove.
The first area of focus for Rotary International is Promoting Peace. Rotary International has a long history of efforts to promote peace throughout the world. These efforts, both big and small, have resulted in some great achievements.
There are many layers to the concept of promoting peace. Peace is not just the absence of war or conflict. It is about the peace of knowing where the next meal is coming from, ending polio, where one is going to sleep, free from mental / medical or family issues.
I would invite your clubs to think about what you can do on Saturday, September 21, 2024, to let your community know about Rotary's commitment of promoting peace. It does not have to be a grand event but an effort to promote peace.
The event could be as simple as inviting other service clubs, churches, schools and others to join you in a Peace Walk. Providing a meal to the unhoused, supporting a mental health effort, collecting needed supplies for a shelter or a program for at risk youth. Promote your event locally through social and traditional media.
I am sure you members can think of a great 'pop-up' service project to promote peace in your community. Whatever your club does please let us know about your event so we can share the great service is providing.
