Welcome

   I know you saw this around Christmas time but it is such a yappy picture, I just couldn't resist.
 
 
 
New member reminder            Bill Agler introduced Shyanne Marsh, a former Rotarian, who looks forward to joining committees with our Club.
 
 
Uh-Oh                           All those who showed up on December 25 or January 1, 2026 raise your hands. Did you feel left out? Lonely? 
 
 
Announcements                   
Jenny Hemly announced a new "Step Club",which will meet weekly, beginning with Jan. 4th (oops missed that one) , Jan. 11th, etc.

A Kenya Library was described as a donation in part by our Club.

The Rotary Foundation is half way to its goal of $25, 000, so members
are encouraged to donate. 

The Polio Plus work brought cases down from more than 100,000 at its inception to fewer than 100 today.  Goal is to reach zero.

Happy Faces 

 

               We have more greeters now (in honor of Kiel Van Inwegen.)

Secret tip: if you become a greeter, you will finally start to remember more members' names.

Let’s Sing 

 

Bill Agler will lead led us (with vigor) in singing whatever he can find in our songbook.
 
 
This Week's Speaker            Hope Marrow •  Manager Workforce Management Development-will be speaking on developing the nuclear economy in Idaho

     Hope Morrow is INL’s resident labor economist and head of Regional and Community Workforce Development. Morrow’s position is critical to INL’s mission, and her talent is recognized by many organizations across the region. In 2021, Gov. Brad Little appointed Morrow to the Idaho Workforce Development Council to represent the labor needs of the energy industry and overall workforce needs in eastern Idaho. 

     “Hope is thoughtful, strategic and a true people person who builds partnerships and readily resolves questions and concerns,” said former INL Supply Chain Strategist Amy Lientz. She has become a recognized resource across Idaho in the areas of workforce and labor analytics.  

    “Her abilities, creativity, strategic thinking, guiding, positive and caring attitude are not limited to just INL,” said John Baker, a colleague at INL. Morrow is also dedicated to improving her community. She gives generously to many nonprofit organizations, and mentors students and young professionals, guiding them in their career decisions. She also provides opportunities for internships & job shadowing to inspire young community members to follow their dreams & make wise career choices.
