The final details for our golf tournament on the 17th are falling into place! Looks like a fun day ahead! We have 108 golfers and 27 teams. At our meeting in the 16th, plan to stay a little late to stuff the SWAG bags.

In case you missed it, here's the link to this month's District Bulletin

Our club’s next Rotary Youth Exchange student has been identified! Andre is a young man from Italy and is registered at Timberline High School. Timberline is a new school for our club to be working with—we’re typically aligned with Boise High. If you live in that school’s zone and would like to host an exchange student, talk to Shiloh or Cornelia. We potentially have 2 host families for Andre already, but there’s opportunity to be host family #3 in the spring semester, i.e. this time next year. Seeing these amazing kids grow and flourish during their year abroad is a very rewarding experience… just look at Lou! ❤

Many of our club members have put WhatsApp on their phones and joined the Metro group. We have found it to be a great way to communicate. Go to your App Store and download WhatsApp. It would be great if everyone was in the group! (If you don't know, WhatsApp is a Meta Platforms-owned mobile instant messenger and social media service).

OK, here's the deal. Who pays for a guest's lunch? (1) If you bring a guest who is a prospective member, there is no charge. (2) If a visiting Rotarian comes, he/she pays their own. They will be expecting that. (3) If you bring a non-Rotarian guest, who is not a prospect, then YOU buy their lunch. The cost is $15.00 and payment can be made via Venmo.

RYLA ( Rotary Youth Leadership Award) will be held in Twin Falls again this year, July 27 - 30. Every summer, 60-100 teenagers from around Idaho share a long weekend at the College of Southern Idaho for an intensive four day leadership camp. High school students who are incoming juniors to outgoing seniors are sponsored by Rotary clubs to attend the camp. Applications are due by May 20th. Our club has budgeted for two scholarships.  Do you know a high school student that might be interested? http://ryla5400.weebly.com/
