Becky Hollingsworth and Eric Machacek are with AAA Idaho and they
can send you anywhere by boat, plane, & cruise ship. AAA is more
than roadside assistance. They also provide insurance and are an
Independent brokerage.
Show your AAA card and save while traveling, at hotels, restaurants,
museums, online shopping, automotive services and lots of attractions
such as Boise Hawks, Busch Gardens Theme Parks, Pendleton
Underground tours, Sea World to name a few. Becky advised that
cruising has become very popular, especially European river cruising.
Uniworld does the River Cruises in China, Russia, All of Europe,
Danube, Rhine and Yangtze. They sell foreign currency, they do
passport photos that are free if you book a trip, they provide packing
seminars and even sell discounted movie tickets. Both speakers
answered questions quickly and professionally and were fun to listen
to.  I would recommend them to any Club as a fun program.
We had a guest, Lion Lee Baron from Bellingham, Washington who is transferring to
Boise Bench.
LaDawn Kidd would have won the large attendance drawing, but she was at work. No
one took home the card money either.
Tail twister Larry Locklear collected lots of money from those that had no
Club identification and also if you had not yet helped at the Estate Sale. Go
Larry!
President Terry Brady read the thank you letter from the Veteran's family that
received all of our Christmas Gifts. They were very grateful for the Club
giving their kids and them a very merry Christmas. That is what
we do!
He also informed the Club once again of the funeral arrangements
for Lion Bill and Roberta Stith which is this Saturday, February
4th at 3:00 pm at the Cathedral of the Rockies. The Club sent a bouquet and many members are planning to attend.

The Estate sale is this Friday 9:00-4:00, Saturday 9:00-4:00 and Sunday 11:00 - 3:00pm. This is a Club fundraiser.  We have enough Lions signed up to work, but if you would like to see what it takes to do an Estate Sale I would suggest you at least come visit. Just follow the signs from North 5 Mile and Edna.
