Our Rotary family continues to grow with the addition of Richard Davey & Tom Long.
A small army of Rotarians, Boy Scouts, & citizens enjoyed a beautiful sunny morning installing hundreds of native shrubs in the Hulls Gulch Reserve. The event was covered by KIVI Channel 6. The plants will control erosion & provide habitat for birds, insects, & critters within one of Boise's most popular recreation areas. Upon completion, several club members continued the fun over drinks, snacks, & lunch at a nearby restaurant, rounding out three tenets of Rotary: service, fellowship, & fun!
Are you interested in studying high school abroad?
Students going on exchange for the 2020-21 school year now have access to our club applications! Apply directly via this link. We'll select our Rotary District outbound team in November 2019.
Are you interested in hosting a foreign exchange student?
We are looking for host families (they don't have to be Rotarians) willing to host a foreign exchange student for 3-4 months out of the school year. Host families are responsible for making these students a part of their families and sharing our values and culture. Rotary provides training and resources.
For more information, keep reading, or visit our District Rotary Youth Exchange website.
Rotary Club of Boise recognizes its program speakers by planting a tree in their honor. This gesture is in keeping with RI Past President Ian H.S. Riseley's 2017-2018 Rotary year challenge to plant a tree for every Rotarian in recognition of the impacts of climate change on the world's most vulnerable populations.
“It is my hope that the result of that effort will be far greater than the environmental benefit that those 1.2 million new trees will bring,” Riseley said. “I believe the greater result will be a Rotary that recognizes our responsibility not only to the people on our planet, but to the planet itself.”
The challenge was concluded on Earth Day 2018, but our club has elected to continue this effort in honor of our weekly program speakers.
You can participate by contributing to the Gift That Grows program. Every $5 contribution purchases another seedling!
