Just a quick heads up to let you all know that my son and his wife will be on ABC World News tonight with my little grandson, Leo. They were on Good Morning America last Friday, and have been trending online with the story about Leo's being able to see his mother for the first time. Leo was born with a rare disorder called oculocutaneous albinism. It affects his eyesight, and until he got his first pair of glasses, had never been able to see his mom and dad. When they first put his glasses on, his reaction was priceless. My son posted it to Facebook for family and friends to see, but it has been picked up and shared so many times, it now has had more than 50 million views! Just thought some of you might be interested.
Boise Metro has signed up to clean and sort gently used books to ensure they get to kids who may not otherwise have access to books/libraries. This is a great service event that is 'friends and family' friendly that will be fun, too! Please join for part or all of our allotted time - it's a great way to close out the work week! Here are the details: What: Service Above Self - Book Cleaning and sorting for Unite Way When: Friday, April 15, 2016 Time: 3:00pm to 6:00pm Where: 8740 W Fairview, Boise, ID It's a United Way temporary spot between Milwaukee and Maple Grove (north side) Point of Contact: Connie Hinderliter, Unite Way 208-336-1070 Ext 111 See you there!

Many thanks to Cornelia who stepped up to create our FaceBook page! This has been a large missing piece of our "Public Image". So be sure to visit our page and "like" it and "share it" with all your friends! At last check, Cornelia, John, Mary and Scott will have posting rights.
Reminder that our club has been approved by Rotary International to participate in the Open World Program. We will be hosting 6 Russians (from Siberia!) for 8 days, October 7-15. Our responsibility will be housing, transportation and programs. Cornelia is setting things up. Start thinking about how you will help with this incredible opportunity.
Cornelia is now officially looking for host families. Based on the size of your house, you might take more than one. You can also volunteer for 4 days instead of the whole 8. Let Cornelia know if you'd be interested! This is going to be awesome!
Our road trip last week to Boise TechMall was awesome! This is a fascinating operation - a new, three story building with 25 small tenants, most tech related. All working together in a co-op like atmosphere. Tenants, or "vendors" as they're called, offer everything from obscure computer parts, smart phone repairs, video production, legal and accounting services, coaching, software development, marketing services and more. While we were there, Rick H volunteered to try out the VR setup to ride on a roller coaster. You had to be there!
On Thursday we had a small gathering after work for socializing at the fairly new Rotary Sushi place on Fairview. Its called "Rotary" because of the conveyor belt that runs all around the bar carrying a wide variety of sushis. If you haven't been there yet, its highly recommended... by Rotarians.
