Optimist Meeting/Tue, May 8th, Wild Science Explorers


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.

Leslie is a Senior Water Quality Analyst and Watershed Protection Coordinator with the Idaho Dept of Environmental Quality.  She manages the State DEQ satellite office here in McCall.  Leslie has a passion for outdoor education for youth and spends many volunteer hours supporting community projects.  She has successfully written and coordinated several community grants such as Kids in the Woods, Valley County Pathways, and Boulder Creek Project with Donnelly Elementary School.

Come join us for breakfast and hear Leslie speak about a wonderful program for under-privilege youth.  (7:00 at the Pancake House)

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.

Tom Crawford
