THIS WEEK - CLUB ASSEMBLY

This week is Club Assembly - strictly business!! We have lots to talk about and some decisions to be made. Its a good time to catch up! Hope to see everyone there!

JEMFRIENDS WISH LIST IS OUT!

As we head into Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, it's time once again for us to include youth in the JEMfriends transitional homes in our gift giving.

Their wish list is posted here: https://bit.ly/JEMwishlist

When you see something you wish to purchase, please put your name in the column so we don't accidentally double up. If you aren't excited about going to stores, just buy online and ship it to RedBuilt. You can also donate by Venmo to @Cornelia-Sprung towards the blankets.

Please make your purchases in time for our Holiday Wrap Party on December 19.

In Rotary service,

Your Boise Metro Rotary Service Committee
