See you tonight!

Hola! 

Tonight's regularly scheduled meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Jerome Senior Center in Jerome which will be the "official" first meeting (Bob's now officially sworn in) with "Captain Bob" Helms at the...ah...er, helm.  Tonight we'll be discussing....

1st Quarter District Conference  was in Poulsbo, WA last weekend.  I don't have a report to report so whoever is reading this can report if they have anything to report.  :)

Youth Appreciation - Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. at Summit Elementary in Jerome.  We are looking for the awesome kids in our community in order to honor them and nominations are flooding in everyday!  We're very excited to have the Jerome Rotary as our co-sponsors of this wonderful event as well as our very special guest, Capt. Rob Storm from the Idaho State Police who will be presenting the kids with their certificates along with Jerome County Magistrate Judge, and Optimist, Tom Borresen.  As we've done in years past, we're not necessarily looking for the straight A students or athletes - we're looking for the kids who stand out and make a difference just by being them.  We've never failed to be impressed by the youth in our community so if you need a little revival in your heart about "kids today", please come to our ceremony.  You won't be disappointed.  Chair is Sheri Mitchell so if you have any questions, please contact Sheri.

Coats for Kids - The new school year is in full swing and colder temps are here.  We do not have a chair for this project so at this point, it will be a group effort for Coats for Kids.  Sheri Mitchell has agreed to be the ringleader until a suitable replacement has been located.  If you're interested in chairing Coats for Kids, please let Capt. Bob or Sheri know ASAP. 

Breakfast with Santa - Saturday, December 18, 2010 at St. Jerome's Catholic Parish Hall.  We are excited to announce that we will get the use the new Parish Hall for Breakfast so we'll have more room for everyone...and the heater should work, too!  Chair is Lori Tangen.  Workers should be at the hall around 5:30-ish (or o'dark thirty) to begin setting up, decorating the tables, setting up the Christmas tree and warming up the grills.  Breakfast will be served from 7:00-11:00 a.m. so mark your calendars.  This is a FUN event!   

That's all for now, I think.  Our next regularly scheduled meeting will be replaced by Youth Appreciation on Wednesday, November 10th, at 6:00 p.m. at Summit Elementary in Jerome so please note the new time and new location for next week's meeting ONLY.  Stay tuned for additional information for the meeting schedule for the remainder of 2010.

Happy Wednesday!
