Fellow Rotarians,
As you've been hearing over the past year, some of our club members have been involved in the creation of a Wetland Peace Preserve between the Boise River and the Willow Lane Athletic Complex in Boise. This 13 acre riparian area is starting to take shape with the help of 9 Treasure Valley clubs and a collaboration with Boise Parks and Rec. One element of the Preserve will be 16 Peace Poles, each sponsored by a club or Rotary youth group or Action Group.
Each pole will have the sponsoring club or group's name and motto on one face ('Nampa Rotary, where we build relationships and make a difference here and in the world!'), a picture and description of a flora (Shrubby Cinquefoil) and fauna (Mink) that might be found in the Preserve on a second face, a peaceful or inspirational word or phrase ('Serve in Peace') in 4-6 languages including English on the third face and the 4-way Test or other design on the fourth face. There will also be a podium on each pole to display storybook pages, or artwork and writings from local schools, authors and others.
In sponsoring a Peace Pole, our club is expected to contribute $1500. Our board has generously offered to match up to $750 in member donations. If each of our members donate $20, we'd meet or exceed our goal. All donations will go toward the development of the park. The link to donate is: https://namparotary.org/page/donate-now-to-rotary-peace-pole-project/. In addition to the Peace Pole, the Preserve has and will continue to offer our members volunteer opportunities, as well as a peaceful environment to enjoy into the future.
Thank you for your consideration of this opportunity.If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly.
