Boise is known as the City of Trees. In fact, as the French fur trappers came across the desert and first set eyes on the fair city, they cried "Les Bois" - the trees - and the American-ized name Boise came to be.
Many years later we have those beautiful trees to thank for the shade in the summer and the opportunities for service in the fall. That's why teams from the Boise Noon, Eagle and Meridian Optimist Clubs all went out in force to rake-up their respective cities. What a great way to build friendship, serve others and make our communities some of the best places to live.
We love stories about your Optimist Club. Please tell us one and we'll add it to the website.
