This year's Mountain State's Tumor Institute (MSTI) picnic will be this Saturday at about 11:00 AM at Municipal Park, 500 S. Walnut St. Boise. Please come for a couple of hours to help serve these kids with cancer!
Our speaker this day was Kim Ivacek from Hope's Door Shelter. This facility houses and protects women who have experienced domestic violence. Kim showed a 7 minute DVD that absolutely shocked us all! I'll have to admit I've never seen photos of women so very battered and abused! Terrible!
Kim said they took care of 6,785 women and children last year, and that number will probably grow to 7,000 this year. They subsist on donations. They were $300,000 short last year. You can help at www.aafvhope.org.
