Optimist Meeting - Tuesday, November 8th + Announcements

Greetings!

Mr. Greg Stahl, Assistant Policy Director of Rivers United, will join our meeting this week.  Greg works on the organization's salmon program, as well as focussing on other conservation issues.  He arrived in November, 2008, following 10 years spent writing about Idaho's abundant rivers, public lands, and colorful personalities as a reporter and assistant editor with the Idaho Mountain Express newspaper in Ketchum.  He also worked previously as senior editor at Sun Valley Magazine.  A 2005-2006 recipient of a Ted Scripps Fellowship in Environmental Journalism at University of Colorado at Boulder, Greg is versed in water law, public land law and natural resources law.  Beyond his abundant hobbies, which range from playing the guitar to whitewater kayaking, he's an avid student of life.  Greg is excited to be working in the world of river advocacy. 

Greg's program is sure to be interesting, and I hope you'll plan to attend - Tuesday, November 8th, 7:00 am at the Pancake House.

Thank You Veterans!

Next Friday, November 11th, is Veterans Day.  We give a heartfelt "thank you" to all those Veterans in our club and throughout our community for their service and sacrifice.

Veterans Day Flag Service

We'll be putting the flags up and taking them down in observance of Veterans Day, and we'll need some volunteers.  Can you help?  (I don't yet know the schedule, but we'll get that out soon)

See you Tuesday morning!

Thanks,

Jim
