HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

No meeting this week.

SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION ON GIVING TUESDAY

Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity, is an opportunity to make a big impact with a gift of any size supporting projects you’re passionate about. Our Foundation helps Rotary members advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. Consider making a gift this Giving Tuesday, 28 November.

JEMFRIENDS WISH LIST IS OUT!

As we head into Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, it's time once again for us to include youth in the JEMfriends transitional homes in our gift giving.

Their wish list is posted here: https://bit.ly/JEMwishlist

When you see something you wish to purchase, please put your name in the column so we don't accidentally double up. If you aren't excited about going to stores, just buy online and ship it to RedBuilt. You can also donate by Venmo to @Cornelia-Sprung towards the blankets.

Please make your purchases in time for our Holiday Wrap Party on December 19.

In Rotary service,

Your Boise Metro Rotary Service Committee
