Plans are being finalized for our annual Rose Sale - the biggest fund raiser of the year! We'll start taking orders next week and expect deliveries in late October. Stay tuned for more details. (Note: you should have all received an email from Janice today with more details). 

Cornelia has been hard at work setting up the schedule for Open World.  Our guests from Tomsk, Siberia, will arrive on Friday, October 7th. Most of the team is connected to Siberian State Medical University. Their interests are in entrepreneurial business and adaptive technologies for people with disabilities. A sampling of the planned activities might be: Trailhead, Idaho Assistive Technologies, Bike rides and wineries, Birds of Prey, City Club of Boise, Disability forum, 3D Printing, Mike Simpson's Office, BSU, Micron tours, capitol tours, JUMP, ARC, geothermal tours, and the list goes on! 

 

As you will recall, we have been supporting the Garden City Garden Club's Polinator Project behind the GC City Hall/Library. To see a great view of what they plan, check out this video clip (amazing technology!)

Our macho-man Bret Vaterlaus is embarking on quite the adventure later this month. He's going to ride his mountainbike for about 400 miles over a 3 or 4 day period staring Sept 14th in the rugged wilderness of central Idaho. Its the third annual event called the "Smoke and Fire 400".  "There is no registration fee, no support and no prize money"  https://smokenfire420.wordpress.com/

 

 

Mark your calendar: the Mayor's office has let us know that the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Greenbelt section will be at noon on Sept 16th. Details to be announced. We have offered to participate. Maybe join the Mayor on a bike ride?
