Greetings!
Tonight we have a ***GUEST SPEAKER*** so everyone who can attend should attend (please!!)
We'll be welcoming Melissa Pease-Hillarides of Southern Idaho Tourism to talk about touring beautiful (but recently soaked) southern Idaho. In addition, Melissa will be talking about Savor Southern Idaho, a celebration of all-things Idaho, that will be held at Canyon Crest Dining and Event Center on Thursday, June 17th. For more information, come to the meeting tonight!
PAST EVENTS:
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came out for Senior Lock-in on May 27th. I have to say that in all my years of participating in this event, this was the first time that we couldn't get the kids to stop playing. We had 8 Blackjack tables and 2 Texas Hold'em tables going at the same time and it didn't stop. In fact, since it was a work night and I had only committed us to be there from 9:30 - 11:30 p.m., we finally had to "just say no" and pack it in. Of course, it was nearly 1:00 a.m. when that happened! It was a late night for us, that's for sure, but a fun night. And, I heard that the kids continued to play Blackjack for the rest of the night so our tables were well used. Anyway, thanks again to everyone who helped deal, set-up, tear down, etc. You guys are the BEST!!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Jerome Optimist Annual Bud Gorton Memorial Golf Tournament - Saturday, July 24, 2010, at 93 Golf Ranch in Jerome. Shotgun start at at 9:00 a.m. for 4-person teams. More information to follow such as cost, prizes, etc. Chairwoman extraordinaire is, of course, Julie Stadelman. Thanks Julie!! Also, if you're not a golfer, maybe you'd consider sponsoring a hole. It's a great way to donate to the cause without having to hit a tiny, white ball around a golf course in 100-degree weather. :) If you're interested in being a hole sponsor, let me know.
SUMMER MEETING SCHEDULE:
It's June, it's nearly summer time - at least the calendar says it is - so I'm going back to my summer meeting schedule:
June 2 - Meeting
June 9 - NO MEETING - (It's my 40th birthday!!)
June 16 - Meeting
June 23 - NO MEETING (I'll be in Vegas, baby, celebrating the aforementioned 40th....)
June 30 - Meeting
Even though we're not meeting each week, I'll continue to send out reminders to everyone and maybe, just maybe, there will be a suprise BBQ thrown in there somewhere. And maybe, just maybe, our current Lt. Governor Brent Evans will surprise us with a summer zone meeting!! Brent??? Oh, and by the way, congratulations to our new Lt. Governor for the 2010-2011 year, Donald Bohrn. Thanks, Don! For those of you out there who are past presidents of Zone 9, remember, you too can be a Lt. Governor. Just tell us that you're interested and you'll be in like Flynn.
Happy Wednesday!
