LET'S PLAY GOLF!!

Posted by Jeff Larsen on Feb 12, 2023

Q: Why are we having a Golf Scramble Fundraiser?

A: Our Club Dues don’t pay for our local service programs and projects. Club Fundraisers do!

Club Dues pay for costs to be a club: RI & District Dues; Weekly Lunch; Club Admin & Training; Membership & Fellowship Budgets.

Club Fundraisers pay for our Service Programs and Projects: Rotary Youth Exchange; RYLA; Everyday Leadership; Dictionary Project; JEM Friends.

Our Golf Scramble is our Spring opportunity to raise funds that make these valued programs possible. If you like being a part of what Boise Metro Rotary offers to our local youth and community, then now is the time to step forward to support our Spring Fundraiser.

Call to action now:

Find Sponsors! Hole Sponsorships start as low as $250 and go up to $2,500 for Title Sponsor. I challenge each member to find a sponsor in their network.

Find your Foursome! Golf Foursome price is $500. We need to sell 30 Foursomes. I challenge each member to get a Foursome to play.

MISCELLANY AND MINUTIA

We were honored to welcome Eric Thompson, Major Gifts Officer from the Rotary Foundation. He explained how TRF has opened new disaster relief programs for Pakistan and Ukraine. If you're interested in joining one of Rotary's Legacy Programs, Eric will be happy to visit with you!

Eric also helped us to recognize Tyson Wise who was honored with this Paul Harris + 8. Tyson's commitment to the Rotary Foundation has been amazing!

The discussion about EVs was fascinating. Those that own one love them. The consensus seemed to be that Tesla was the best, but they're too complicated! There are lots of new models coming down the road - every one more efficient!

Chilly morning on the Greenbelt Saturday, but we got 'er done!
