JOINT KIWANIS MEETING THURS, OCT 18th!

NO ROTARY WED, OCTOBER 17th!

Don't show up at Kaley on Wednesday, October 17th... as we will not be meeting on that day. In lieu, we will be meeting the next day. Kiwanis has invited us to a joint meeting with them at Kaley during their regular noon meeting (our regular meeting place).

Kiwanis has invited Hollie Conde, Development & Communication Manager for "Land Trust of the Treasure Valley" to be the speaker.

The topic will cover "Open Space Conservation" throughout the Treasure Valley and maybe something about the Land and Water Conservation Fund re-authorization vote on September 30th.

So come listen and hear about what is going on and decide for yourself!.

Want Rotary Entourage for Rotary

Check Presentation to Veterans

If you are able, please join Chuck McHugh at the Caldwell Veterans' Memorial Hall on Thursday, October 18^th, at 7:30 p.m. to present them with a check for $3,000 to support our area veterans.

This money is from earnings from our Caldwell Rotary Foundation’s "Freedom Beerfest" fundraiser this past September. The rest of the earnings will be used for other worthy community projects of the club.

The check will be presented at the beginning of their meeting and Rotarians will then be free to leave. So go support Chuck and enjoy the presentation!

PLEASE, SOMEONE TAKE A PICTURE OF THE PRESENTATION!
