Salmon Volunteers debuts

We're in Salmon, Idaho, May 14-15 conducting visits to the RSVP Volunteer Station partners here. We plan to buy a classified ad that will run for 16 weeks this summer calling attention to a SALMON VOLUNTEERS website. It's a website we're creating and maintaining for our loyal RSVP partners here. It's a way to show them that we care about them and we're going to work harder to help them this year and in the future.

This morning, we made our first webpage to go along with the main SALMON VOLUNTEERS directory. It's for the Rags & Wags Thrift Store. This beloved store is reminds us of "The Little Engine That Could." Rags & Wags chugs along faithfully raising money to support the Lemhi County Humane Society. It's difficult to imagine Salmon City without either Rags & Wags or the Humane Society. Their contribution to this community is so important. It's a real pleasure to be able to help them with this type of resource.

Goodman's feted for 'Old Toby' efforts

On April 21, 2009, the Idaho Falls Post-Register newspaper published a story about a father-son team that decided to resurrect the memory of a Shoshone Indian who played a pivotal role during the 1805 Lewis & Clark's Expedition through Lemhi County Idaho.
Reporter Laura Zuckerman crafted an excellent account of Seth and John Goodman's untiring dedication to commemorating Old Tody with an imposing stone highway monument and a plaque. Click here to read a PDF of Ms. Zuckerman's excellent Post-Register story.

RSVP believes that this type of inspired citizen action should be recognized by one and all. As a result, we've prepared two certificates for the Father & Son and will hopefully find them this weekend to make a presentation to them. We will be up in the Salmon vicinity conducting visiting to our 12 partner organizations that use RSVP volunteers. Click here to see a list of our Salmon area partners.
