Please join us for our annual Connect 4 Lunch BBQ scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 20. The luncheon will be held at the Trail Head Pavilion at Q’emiln Park again this year. The barbecue is dedicated to promoting our members with each organization having time to promote their business if they provide a giveaway for the business card drawings.
Sept. 26 will be here before you know it — and we will be drawing the winning $25,000 Super Scholarship raffle ticket at our annual membership appreciation party sponsored by ICCU. We are well into our fourth year of the Super Scholarship Raffle program, and are grateful to the continued support of our Premier Sponsor, Greene Idaho Foundation, and our other underwriting sponsors.
Our 2016 scholarship winner was Cody Jahns who is attending NIC and works as a CNA for Kootenai Health with the intention of transferring to Lewis-Clark State College to continue his degree in nursing. The 2017 scholarship winner was Justin Lyon who is attending the University of Idaho working toward his degree in medicine. The 2018 scholarship winner, Kayla Hart, is a student at Lewis-Clark State College studying social work. Who will be next?
