Hello Friends and Optimist ,

This week, we have Leslie Freeman, director of Wild Science Explorers.  Wild Science Explorers is a non-profit organization that takes teenagers on 3-6 day science education trips down the Lower Salmon River.  You can view their website here:  http://www.wildscienceexplorers.org/index.html  Leslie will talk about what is in store for this year and where the program is going.

Senior Party Message:

Attached you will find the Benefactor Letter for delivery to our supporters. It is double sided, but if you can’t print in color or double sided there is a stack of the letters at Mike Vineyards office for anyone to come pick up.  The spreadsheet has the list of responsibilities for all of our volunteers as well as a reference list for what was contributed last year by each benefactor. We will pick up prizes at the end of May and store them at Mike Gurney's office.  Please lend a hand if you can.
