Our Zoom program this week will be our own Carrie Westergard, Executive Director of the Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau. She will tell us about the "Boise is Back" marketing program.
"I was born in Boise Idaho in 1976 and lived here for 4 years before we moved out to Adrian Oregon here in the treasure valley. I graduated from Adrian High a school of 85 kids. I went to school in eastern Idaho for 1 year before serving a 2 year mission in Raleigh North Carolina for the Church of Jesus Christ of Later day Saints. I then continued my schooling in Idaho before I met my future wife Leslee and moved to California to finish my schooling at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I then worked in the bay area for 10 years before finally coming back home to Boise. I started my practice with Northwestern Mutual almost 10 years ago as a financial advisor. I have 4 kids, 1 boy and 3 girls. Brock (16), Keili (13), Ryann (10), and Halle (4). We Also have a Portuguese water dog named Jack. We love living here in Boise (meridian) and love Rotary and everything it stands for."
For our July 28th meeting, we're going to to try a "Hybrid" meeting style. We'll meet in person in room 200 of the Boise Centre on the Grove. Our program that day will be Ben Nelson, our new District Governor. Lunch will be provided. We'll also have a video feed available for those who chose to stay at home. Stay tuned for more details.
