REFUGEE GARDEN & THE ROTARY CLUB OF BOISE EAST: HUMANITY IN MOTION


(Picture #1:  Ray Frechette fixes a fence at the Refugee Garden on Saturday, June 25.  Picture #2:  Doreen Compton pots some plants.  Picture #3:  A refugee poses at the garden).  Picture #3:  Cameron McCown, potential member and volunteer, Rector David Wettstein on whose property the garden exists, and Ray Frechette.

The Rotary Club of East Boise is the newest club in District 5400.  Comprised of young and energetic members plus experienced and committed Rotarians, this club sparkles.  On a beautiful Saturday in Boise, several members, including DG-to-be Terry Gilbert, built fence and weeded and watered.   "Service Above Self" motivated these Rotarians to help the refugees of Boise.

  2. This is an excellent example of how a newly formed club can have a huge impact in the community with little or no money!
