Our speaker this week will be Jay Larsen, Founder/CEO of Idaho Technology Council, an organization created to help Idaho's technology companies expand and thrive. After many years in the communications technology industry, he went on to serve in the U.S. Congress as Director of Economic Development.

Our Board met last Thursday over a beer or two at Hops and Bottles. We discussed opportunities to invest in Greenbelt projects and brainstormed a variety of fundraising ideas. Our finances are in great shape.

Last week's song, "Keep on the Sunny Side", was a disaster! You can blame the band. We'll try it again this week in a better key!...........Dave Gott spent his summer back East, went to 16 other Rotary Clubs and reports that only ONE was a "singing club"................Mary got a new bike for her birthday.......this one doesn't have training wheels........Alli went to Australia and hugged a Koala Bear.......Jake and Grace told us about  their RYLA experience...sounds like fun..........
