Optimist Meeting Sept 24

Hello to all.

Local life and health insurance and investment representative Shawn Miller will be our guest speaker next Tuesday morning.  His topic?  "Navigating the Affordable Care Act".

Shawn was born in Chicago, at a time when covered wagon was the primary means of transportation.  Nevertheless, he graduated in biology from Central College in Iowa, then went on to earn a Masters of Science in Aquatic Biology at Idaho State University.  Shawn then went to work for two years at Argonne National Laboratory writing environmental impact statements for Liquid Metal Fast Breeder reactors.

He then shifted gears and moved to McCall in 1973, and was a social worker for ten years for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.  Shawn then went to work with his wife Joy in Weller Miller Insurance and Financial services where he specialized in Life and Health Insurance and Investment products, the line of work in which he continues to this day.

Shawn has been active in many local and statewide organizations--past president of McCall Rotary; the Idaho State Treasurers Investment Consortium, Grants Review Panel member of the Idaho Community Foundation, McCall Chapter president and State Council chair of Idaho Trout Unlimited, many years as Winter Carnival Variety show chairman, and is a charter Board Member of the Idaho Black History Museum.

Please join us for breakfast, 0700 at the Pancake House for an informative, entertaining presentation on a very timely topic.
