THIS WEEK - CAMP RAINBOW GOLD
Our guest this week will be Jazzy Jenkins, Development Director of Camp Rainbow Gold.

Hidden Paradise is Idaho’s medical camp, designed to be a refuge for people living with medical, emotional, physical, or behavioral challenges. Here, visitors experience the healing power of nature while enjoying a safe, adaptive space designed to meet their physical and medical needs. 

Idaho’s medical camp began as a dream for Camp Rainbow Gold, which has served children living with cancer and their families for more than 40 years. For decades, the organization put enormous effort into setting up Camp Rainbow Gold a different camp sites in the summer, only to pack it all up again until the next year.

ROTARY LEARNING CENTER
If you are taking on a new role in our club, remember to take advantage of the excellent training available in the Rotary Learning Center. You can use a web browser (or the new phone app!) to access learning plans for all club officer positions, as well as those serving on Membership, Public Image, Service and Foundation committees. It will clarify expectations and provide a solid foundation for your work.
