SOME MORE NOTES:
Regional District Meeting
The Regional District Meeting was held February 11, 2012 at Twin Falls, Idaho. We had 7 members who attended from the Caldwell Club. They were Connie Holt, Anita Whelchel, Debbie Lenington, Jim Toto, Florence Blackburn, Larry Blackburn and Diane Crookham. Guest Lunch speaker was Ian Johnson, a former BSU football player. He talked about how he came about to become a BSU football player and the thoughts going through his head at the time of the winning play at the Fiesta Bowl. It was fun to listen to.
It was also interesting to hear what the other clubs were doing for the kids in their community.

PAL Boxing
Joe, (Ring Girl?)
The Pal Boxing was held on February 18, 2012. It was pretty well attended. Thanks to all who helped out. There was good feedback from the teams that traveled to attend this event. Dolores sold over $1000.00 worth of 50/50 tickets. Joe collected information from the out of town coaches to find out the number of nights and where they were staying in Caldwell. This should be a guideline of future economic impact this event would have for Caldwell.
