Young families are drawn to Boise because it’s one of the safest cities in the world. In addition, Boise’s combination of affordability and do-it-yourself spirit make it the perfect place for creatives (check out the awesome comedy scene), entrepreneurs and startups. The tech scene here is growing fast, with new talent flocking to the city, eager to find a work-life balance that allows for plenty of fresh air and adventure.” The Boise Valley. Big ideas grow here as evidenced by a legacy of great American business stories from Albertsons grocery stores to the J.R. Simplot Company to Micron Technology.

I have just returned from New Orleans, the site of the 2012 International Kiwanis Convention. The mission of Kiwanis: to serve the children and Permit #7148 Permit communities of the world is stronger than ever. Much like our current economy, we are City, UT Lake Salt Paid Postage US Std. Presort doing more service than ever with less. We are part of a very organized and efficient machine, at the ready to help anywhere we are needed. UNICEF has been keeping track of our success, and due to your donations 10 countries have already eliminated neonatal tetanus. Wow! Every Zeller Medal saves 695 lives. It is hard to believe that a little money can go that far. I am happy about that. Maybe money can buy a little happiness. The Dali Lama twittered the other day about happiness. Someone wrote him said "I want happiness" how can I achieve it? His response was…first take out the "I" (obvious reference to the egocentric self). Then take out the "want"(perhaps our striving to have it all) and you are left with "happiness". Again, wow! As a service club, we serve others and this helps us create and spread happiness.
