Last Thursday, we had an emergency. Acting Pres Bea Black welcomed emergency physician, Dr. Gary Brandecker, who stopped by to share some insights on how to live a more healthy life. Not too many surprises but a great reminder to get a good nights sleep, regular exercise (150 minutes per week), and eat real food. It was shocking how much sugar is in our regular diet.

Great to see other Rotarians and welcome guests.

Great meeting on Thursday as Acting Pres Sean Wall welcomed Jim Wallmann, Bureau of Land Mgmt (BLM) meteorologist at the National Interagency Fire Center. Jim was able to describe the fire season we are heading into after a very warm, dry winter. NIFC is a central intelligence point for fire prediction across the US.

We got a preliminary report from Andrea Erwin Pettitt on Sip N Frolic 2026. Over $43,000 was raised to help fund the clean water project in Guatamala and the school playground equipment in Boise. Andrea truly deserves credit for taking our 'FUNDraiser' to a dramatically new level. Great fun was had by all. And we are appreciative of Lost Grove Brewing for hosting us.

Pay attention to upcoming projects and chances to get together.

Special recognition to the folks who have generously donated to the Rotary fund.

Sip N Frolic 2026 - smashing success. Thanks to all the generous folks and to our team leader, Andrea Erwin Pettitt.

What a treat. This past Thursday, we had a chance to hear from one of our most prestigous members - Jim Steele. He has been a Rotarian for over 50 years and is celebrating his 94 birthday.

His daughter gifted Jim with a book - His Story. It was a program that asked Jim deep questions over the course of a year. When complete, he edits and submits and they print a beautiful book of his story with pictures and life memories.

It was terrific.

We also welcomed visitors and guests and celebrted the great service project building beds. We have so much to be grateful for.

Our Thursday meeting, Acting President, Sean Wall, welcomed Veteran Enrichment Through Sponsorship (VETS) Program: Jon Wheeler - Volunteer

For members of Rotary International and the broader community, supporting veterans can start with simple, meaningful steps. Consider organizing a small group visit to the Idaho State Veterans Home, hosting a shared meal, or creating a recurring service day. If your club has members with unique skills; music, storytelling, crafts, or more, that becomes powerful ways to connect and give back.

It was an opportunity to remember the service our veterans provide and consider ways we might give back to them.

Nice to see friends and guests. Today, we handed out three new red badges to our newest members.

Our EPIC Day of Service was a huge success! We had an amazing time giving back and making a meaningful impact in our community. Together with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), we built 20 beds for children who otherwise would not have one of their own. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make the day so special!
