JEM FRIENDS DECORATED
We learned a lot about the challenges of young people "ageing out of foster care" last week from Liberty Barrett, Executive Director of JEM friends. She formed the organization in 2008.  Currently, they are supporting 9 young people in three separate homes. There are opportunities for us to be involved whether its mentoring, teaching life skills or general support. Over the last week our club successfully installed Christmas trees and decorations at the three homes along with awesome gifts. 
 
WE WERE OVERDRESSED
Our night to volunteer at Gardens Aglow was awesome! Nice and warm, no wind. We were all overdressed. We served hot chocolate, tended fires, directed traffic, emptied trash cans and more!

RIDE FOR POLIO RAISES LOTS!

Here's the break-down of our FUNdraising for polio from the bike ride I did Dec. 10th.  This is money people have said they've donated online or have already paid me in cash / check.

    • $1465
  • Bret's donation and match challenge for Boise Metro club members from 12/19:
    • $1150
  • Checks from bike pals, Rotarians, friends:
    • $365 (some checks still coming in)
  • Visitor / Rotarian cash donations / checks made out to Mary Reiman: 
    • $300
  • TOTAL:  $3280
This amount will then be 2:1 matched for Polio Plus Ride to End Polio, making the contribution to RI:  $9840

 

The 2018 Tucson Ride to End Polio, with all contributions and matches (but not counting ours yet) raised
