In our continuing quest for alternate meeting venues, this week we'll go to The Cottonwood. There will be three items on the menu for you to choose from. Cost is covered by your club dues. Our program will be reports from our two RYLA students who will tell about their experience earlier this summer.
We were all so impressed by the "Splash" program for third graders at the Treasure Valley Y, as explained last week by Ex Dir Mike, that our board has approved the idea of a $3,000 grant to restart the program at Garfield Elementary, where we are already involved with the Everyday Leadership program. Lots to do to get that started, but we'll plant the seed! You may even be able to go swimming, too!
Jade, our Rotary Youth Exchange student has arrived from Belgium! Her first host family is Michael and Reese Barker. Jade had a great first week of school! She is joining the rugby team and she floated the Boise river. Welcome to Boise, Jade!
