PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:

The speaker for the March 21, 2012 was Marsha Davis. Marsha is with Habitat for Humanity. The Canyon County Habitat for Humanity(CCHFH) affiliate began in 1995. Since then, 14 families have moved into Habitat Homes in Caldwell and Nampa. You need to qualify for these interest free loans by meeting certain guidelines. Once you have qualified you are expected to work 500 hours on this home or volunteering in the ReStore. It usually takes about 1½ years to qualify once you have submitted an application for the home. To qualify you must have a job or a source of income.
Ways to volunteer for Homes for Humanity is:
Join one of the committees, such as Construction, Site Selection, Family Selection & Partnership, Public Relations, Fundraising, Church Relations, and or our newest committee, the ReStore. Committees meet one monthly and are the nuts and bolts of Habitats daily work.
Build Homes or help on A Brush with Kindness project.
Habitat works on current projects during the spring, summer and fall. Helping to build a Habitat House or working on a home repair project.
Volunteer at the ReStore or in the Habitat Office. Volunteers will pick up donations, help in the warehouse, cashier or assist shoppers in the store. The office needs volunteers to answer phone, work on the computer, create brochures, work with current home owners among the many jobs to be done.

Habitat would also accept you monetary donation.

Soccer News
Optimist Club is again volunteering to help with the Soccer Spring Program. Be thinking about what Saturday you would like to work.

The Soccer Jamboree will be held on May 3rd, 2012 at Brothers Park. We were asked to make a second obstacle course because it is so well liked that it gets bottlenecked there. Bob Kafka, Larry Blackburn, Chris Allgood and Joe Shreve are going to meet and try to think of something a little different for the second obstacle course. We will need volunteers to staff the Jamboree on the 3rd of May, so put the date on your calendar.

OPTIMIST CREED Promise yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to critize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. ______________
