Our program this week will be Idaho Walk Bike Alliance. Our guests will be John Bengston, President, and Dave Guitto.
In 2009, the Idaho Walk Bike Alliance was formed to promote healthy, safe and reliable, active transportation for ALL Idahoans. Since then, we’ve helped secure more than $75 million in grants for Idaho communities to create safe pathways to walk, bike and roll! We do that in three ways: Advocate, Educate, and Celebrate.
Last week, in lieu of our regular meeting, several of us joined Veteran's for the annual Veteran's Day Luncheon at the Riverside. This is a long running program sponsored by the Boise Rescue Mission. Our club donated a table using funds we would have spent at the Stonehouse. The featured speaker was Judith Eighmy. R. N., USN. Retired now, she told about her experience on a hospital ship off the coast of Vietnam and the challenges women faced in the military in those days. A fascinating talk!
The Boise Rescue Mission provides many services to Treasue Valley Veterans.
November is Foundation Month! And with that we're rolling out a special month-long promotion for those of you not already using Rotary Direct(https://my.rotary.org/en/rotary-direct) to make giving to the Annual Fund and/or Polio Plus easy and automatic. If you sign up for Rotary Direct before the end of November, and set up a $100 donation, both the club and the district will match your donation in points. Yes, a double match! So you'll be almost a third of the way to a Paul Harris Fellowship award. You can do it in a single donation or donate $25 quarterly. Simply forward your receipt to cornelia.sprung@rotary5400.org to request your match. This double match is only available during Rotary Foundation Month, so sign up and automate your giving today!
Did you know? Since our club's inception 40 years ago, our members have contributed $256,000 to the Rotary Foundation!
