Tree Project Update
A note from Vice President and Christmas Tree Sales Chairman Ben Gard
I wanted to give everyone an update on our tree project. I came up with the idea of donating a tree to the City of Eagle during the Christmas Tree sale as a way of thanking everyone, especially The Goldman Family, for helping us out. I've been in contact with City of Eagle and they would like make our tree donation part of their Arbor Day celebration. So we get to kill two birds with one stone (or tree as the case may be.) The planting ceremony will be on Thursday, April 28 (That is actually the day before Arbor Day) at 1:30pm at the Eagle Senior Center, 312 E. State Street. There will be a ceremony with the mayor presiding. I hope that every member that has the opportunity can make the ceremony.
Thank you,
Ben

Three contestants will be traveling to Salem, Oregon to participate in the District competition for the Communications Contest for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. The students, Cassidy Flake, Jessica Gutierrrez, and Ricky Clark will be joined by instructor Jana Dunagan and Optimist Club members Mike Harris, Myrna Harris and Linda Jackson.
In other business, Ben Gard updated us on the purchase of a tree to recognize the Goldman family who graciously donated their property for our 2010 Christmas Tree Sales. Working with the City of Eagle, Ben has arranged for an Arbor Day planting of a Chanticleer Pear Tree.
Mr. Miller promises to reschedule soon so he can talk of his plans to travel to Afghanistan with the 116th guard unit from Idaho.
It was a great meeting today. Why not visit us soon?
