Successful weekend!

Thanks to everyone for coming out Friday afternoon for our opening social! Thank you for your participation in the raffle as well! I hope everyone had a good time and was able to get to know some new people. We didn't even need my silly games! However, I may still bring them out on day for fun! (Lewis & Heather- your baby is adorable!). If anyone has photos from this event if you could please send me a copy for our club archives I would really appreciate it!

If you are missing something- please contact me! We had 2 dishes left behind; email me with a description of yours and I will return it.

Thanks to those who came out on Saturday for the Fort Hall Tour! The Bannock Historical Society expected around 25 people total, and were surprised when 102 showed up to go! Rusty was a great tour guide- full of information and personal stories about the lives of the Shoban people over the past few generations and how the tribe is doing today. It was a very fun trip! Mark your calendars, we have all been invited to the Shoshone-Bannock largest annual pow-wow: it is always held the 2nd weekend in August and kicks off with a childrens parade on Thursday.

Also- if you are interested in joining the Bannock Historical Society please contact the museum at: (208) 233-0434. Dues are $10 for a 1 year membership. They meet once each month and also have speakers com in. I will include their upcoming speakers for the next few months in our updates as well. It would be a great thing to participate in- support the community! Especially those in the public sector that have the same interests as we do.
