Concession Stands are going again this weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the Soccer teams championships. Please come and help!

New Boise Noon Optimist member Lori Benfiet, from Key Bank, wants to help our concession stand business with credit card machines so our customers will have the convenience of using debit or credit cards. Much better!

HOBY is on June 7th. To be held at Hope's door. Mike Bouton is bringing the Bogus Basin BBQ grill. Wasn't someone going to build one for us??

Larry Highley brought some shirts and jackets for us to peruse. Nice looking outfits. It has been proposed that for the first Tuesday we meet at Big Al's in Meridian instead of the Black Bear diner. Guest speaker this day was Matt Beckman. Matt is the Assistant Athletic Director - Marketing at Boise State. He met Cyndi Elliot and a recent OYF signup. He wants to help promote Optimist Football along with BSU ticket sales. many good ideas came up as to how this can be done.
