LAST WEEK'S MEETING

St. Luke's Wood River Foundation 

A huge Thank You to Megan Tanous, Cate Wood and Buddy Wilton for joining us to talk about the history - and future - of St. Luke's Wood River Foundation. From the time of St. Moritz's imminent closing to the introduction of the da Vinci Surgical Robot to innovative employee housing programs, The Foundation has enabled unprecendented health care services in our rural community. 

In case you missed it, the 25th Anniversery video is a MUST SEE and and can be viewed from this link

MEETING INFORMATION

This week we will meet for our first monthly CLUB SOCIAL at 5:00 pm at the Limelight Hotel. THERE IS NO LUNCH MEETING. 

This is a ‘no host’ gathering. Come for as long, or as little, as you like. A few things to note:

  • It is Ed Sinnott's birthday. Not only that - Ed joined the Club on May 1, 1986 - making this his 40th Club Anniversary. We will have some cake, some fun and some Ed stories.
  • If you bring a guest - that is a real prospective member - I will buy you and your guest's first drink. 

"If Rotary is to realize its proper destiny, it must be evolutionary at all times, and, on occassion, revolutionary. "

Corporate Membership

The Ketchum - Sun Valley Rotary Club has implemented a new corporate membership plan.  The highlights of the plan includes one dues-paying member, and allows for up to 3 other members of a business to share the Tuesday lunch meal plan.  Please contact Alex Nevins, new members chair, at alex.nevins@dlevans.com.  

Bring a Guest for Free
What better way to introduce someone to Rotary - a free lunch.  All active Rotary members are invited to bring a friend to lunch for free.  Not only that, the sponsoring Rotarian receives a free Happy Buck!
 
Note, the free lunch is for first time visitors only.  After that, the cost is $25, but the value is priceless.
