The Divas Have More in Store!

The Divas are looking at freshening up a number of things in the new year, including our column! We look forward to continuing to let the community know about the wonderful fundraising events they can attend to support our local nonprofits, and also look forward to letting you know about volunteer opportunities that exist for you to help the causes that touch your heart.

There are so many ways that you can give that do not involve opening your wallet. Your time and talent can make a huge difference and make sure that we maintain (and even further improve) the amazing quality of life we enjoy in the Treasure Valley. If you would like to learn of even more ways to help, check out idealist.org, volunteermatch.org, or unitedwaytv.org.

We will also occasionally highlight nonprofits' programs and what they are doing to help our neighbors, provide excellent arts and culture opportunities, educate our community and so much more.

We hope you enjoy hearing more about the nonprofits - what they are doing to make the Treasure Valley the best place to live in the country, and how you can help make a difference.

Happy Thanksgiving!

On this most wonderful Thanksgiving 2007, we would like to extend our gratitude to everyone in our community who gives of themselves, whether for 10 minutes or 10 hours a month ... whether for $1 or $1,000,000.  Whatever you can give to others of your time, talent and treasure is what makes the Treasure Valley one of the truly best places to live in America.

We are inspired by each one of you who has a cause in your heart to which you give of yourself, and we give thanks that you are a part of our community.

Be sure to listen in on Thanksgiving at noon to Boomer 100.7 for a re-broadcast of our conversation with Sondra Juetten and Jill Aldape of the St. Alphonsus Foundation's Festival of Trees  and Mary Wilson of Ishi. If you're in the Treasure Valley and looking for a fun family activity, be sure to visit downtown Boise's Centre on the Grove and feel the magic of the season with the beautiful trees available for viewing. There are great activities for all of the kids, and you can get amazing ideas for your own tree this holiday season.

We wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

And we're back!
