THIS WEEK - LUKE MAYVILLE
Reclaim Idaho Mountain.pngOur speaker this week will be Luke Mayville, Executive Director of ReClaim Idaho. You will know the impact this organization has had on our Idaho in the past few years. Their primary organizing tactic is ballot initiatives. They've been successful in "forcing" our legislature to pass Medicaid Expansion and, more recently, to make significant investments in K-12 education.
THIS WEEK - AT SMOKY MOUNTAIN
For our monthly Club Assembly we have to change venue due to a conflict at the Towne Suites. Therefore, we'll meet Oct 25, 12pm at Smoky Mountain Pizza at 415 E. Parkcenter Blvd. They'll put out a nice spread for us. What’s your favorite topping?
SPECIAL SPEAKER NOV 1ST
Nov 1 – Steve Scranton, SVP Chief Investment Officer & Economist, Washington Trust Bank. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, Steve is a well-known speaker on the economic conditions and the world financial markets. Please invite a guest or membership prospect to hear our excellent speakers! We will be asking for members to let us know in advance of their guest count for Nov 1 in case we need a larger lunch venue.
