Our guest speaker this week will be Dana Thorpe Patterson, Director of the OSHER Institute at Boise State.
Endowed by The Bernard Osher Foundation, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State University is a membership-based lifelong learning program. We offer a wide variety of college-level, non-credit programs designed for intellectually curious adults age 50 and over. Boise State University is among a cadre of 125 universities and colleges throughout the country that are endowed by The Bernard Osher Foundation. We are the only one in Idaho.
Bob Rainville, from Sunrise Rotary, is our leader for the Everyday Leadership program. Bob has been the cheerleader for years. Sunrise, and our club, are the two in the District who support the program. We contribute $3500 each year. Our efforts are concentrated at Garfield Elementary, but the program is now in all nine of the Title 9 schools, reaching nearly 1000 young people. There are ways for us to participate in person. Stay tuned for more!
On behalf of you district leadership team, we would like to share a message we received from our fellow Rotarian District Governor Mark Merriam of District 5000, which covers the Hawaiian Islands.
Aloha,
"Today has been a tragic day for our Rotarians, families and friends on the Island of Maui. The fires across the island have changed lives forever. Truly devastating. Our sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted.
As people of action, we can take immediate action. As we come together to recover and rebuild, we need to support each other. We need to Create Hope for Maui.
Through our Rotary District 5000 Foundation, a relief fund has been established. Foundation President Dave Hamil and Treasurer Sharon Amano will handle all donations. A committee will be organized shortly to find the greatest needs for distribution of monies. A single fund will be the most helpful over time to provide the most significant benefits.
Many of you have seen coverage of the devastation that has occurred including at least 114 people losing their lives. There are 9 Rotary clubs on the island of Maui, and we know that many of our fellow Rotarians have been impacted. We have an opportunity to help them directly through a donation.
