THIS WEEK - TRIP TO THE Y

This week we'll meet at the Downtown YMCA, where Exec Dir Mike Kapuscinski will give us grand tour and present the plans for the new complex, now under construction. We'll meet in the front lobby. Let Mary/Cornelia know if you're planning to attend so a Panera lunch can be ordered. You probably should allow extra time for parking.

ANA PROJECT AUGUST 26

Posted by Tracy Ritter

Each month the Agency for New Americans provides hygiene kits for the recently arrived families. The ANA resettles more than 200 new Americans annually into the Treasure Valley, utilizing an integrated service delivery system to assist new Americans on their path to resettlement and self-sufficiency. During our meeting on August 26th, we will assemble kits for 55 families. If you would like to help purchase the needed supplies, see the spreadsheet below and bring your donated items to the meeting on the 26th.
