From the Governor's Desk
my heart is broken
As you know I am a Rotarian because I support Peace and Conflict Resolution.
I’d like to start by acknowledging the situation in Europe.
As per the statement issued by Rotary International regarding the Ukraine conflict, we join the International Community in calling for an immediate cease fire, withdrawal of Russian forces, and a restoration of diplomatic efforts to resolve this conflict through dialogue.
Our thoughts are with our fellow Rotary members and everyone in The Ukraine going through these overwhelming times. As Rotarians, with peace being the cornerstone of our global mission, we shall do everything in our power to bring aid, support, and peace to the region.
I encourage you all to take steps to help the people of Ukraine.
Have fun and support a great Rotary cause at the same time!! Mark your calendars for Wednesday May 4th for a fun Rotary Night at the Zoo! Boise Sunrise Rotary will again partner with Zoo Boise to host a fundraiser for a Rotary Global Grant supporting the communities surrounding Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.
The Rotary Night provides Rotarians and their friends and family the opportunity to take in Zoo Boise as a private audience. The recently opened Gorongosa Exhibit brings several new species to Boise that are native to Gorongosa including baboons, nyala antelope, Nile crocodiles and wild painted dogs.
Educational presentations from Boise State researchers studying in Gorongosa and Boise State students from Gorongosa will also be featured. Tickets will be available for purchase in advance and at the door.
Boise SW Rotary Club is hosting a unique fund raising event in partnership with the Boise High School Band to raise funds to support the Boise SW Rotary Foundation and support the Boise HS Band program.
Tickets will be sold for $40
The Boise SW Rotary Foundation's grant program supports needs in our community. Much of the club's grants have gone to aid low-income and underprivileged school programs and their families.
