Our speaker this week will be Mike Long, founder of 208Cleanup, a grassroots volunteer organization in Idaho removes illegally dumped trash and debris from public lands and natural areas. Operating primarily through a community network, the group coordinates large-scale cleanups in high desert regions, caves, and recreation sites across the state to protect public access and preserve local landscapes.
As you may know, JEMfriends is looking forward to their annual GALA in October. Each year, they spotlight the youth who are "graduating" or other wise making great progress. At our meeting, one of their members will give a practice speech. They would welcome our critique!
Boise Metro Rotary enjoyed a hands-on field trip this week to Boise Makers Shop, located on Overland Road, where we toured the facility and heard from manager Erik about the organization’s mission and offerings. Open for four years, Boise Makers Shop provides a welcoming space for people to learn, create, and build their skills.
Members learned about the shop’s monthly memberships, which include access to a full range of tools, safety training, and workshops designed for everyone from beginners to experienced woodworkers. The shop also offers women-only and men-only classes, providing an opportunity for participants to feel more comfortable and confident while learning to use the tools.
It was also wonderful to welcome several guests! Mary brought her little sister, Jaysa, through Big Brothers Big Sisters, along with a friend who recently moved to Kuna and had never attended a Rotary meeting. Anne brought her husband, too. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this week’s gathering such a great experience!
