Community Notes
The Soup Luncheon will be held at the Presbyterian Church in Soda.
Soup Luncheon March 4
It’s that time again! The longstanding Community Soup Luncheon at the Presbyterian Church in Soda Springs will be held Tuesday March 4th (Fat Tuesday-the last day of Mardi Gras before Lent begins) from 11 A.M. To 1 P.M. for eating in. Take-outs for the day will begin at 10:45. The lunch will be held inside the Soda Springs Presbyterian Church at 109 S. 1st East . Those with questions are welcomed to call 208-547-3771 for information or to order take-outs on March 4th. Organizers want to spread the word that “everyone is most welcome.”
For those whose interests lie in the soupy details, there will be 8 kinds of soup to celebrate the day: chicken taco, clam chowder, potato cheese, chili, beef cabbage, chicken Thai curry, ham and bean, and chicken noodle. Bread, dessert, and drink will be served with the meal.
There is no charge, though donations will be gladly accepted.
The church’s Marilyn Kukachka says “We have been in contact with our friend (and former congregant) who is from Ghana, where we have sponsored the two other wells and he mentioned that there is an ongoing need for more wells to serve the people in many rural areas in Ghana, so we are planning to take on another well there.” Funds and donations from the event have been used in past years to sponsor a number of projects in different places—indeed, around the world—including water improvements in Ghana.
The event is always a wonderful non-denominational time to gather with friends and enjoy a bit of warmth as the winter slowly makes its exit from the valley.
Kids Meals at Porters
Porters on Main street is continuing its Friday special of a free Kids meal with the purchase of an adult meal. The deal applies to kids 12 and under. Reservations for Valentines Dinner are also filling up fast.
FamilySearch Center Class
On Sunday, February 9 from 3:00-4:00 the FamilySearch Center in Soda Springs will be presenting a class titled “U.S. Census Research, Techniques and Strategies.” According to Brenda Kunz, the class will help those interested “learn proven Techniques and Strategies for overcoming the pitfalls and challenges of census research to find those elusive ancestors.” FamilySearch is an amazing resource for those who are interested in genealogy for any number of reasons, and these classes are a great way to learn techniques from the pros.
Avalanche Awareness Courses
Representatives from the state Parks and Recreation department Mike Taylor and Brian DiLenge will be teaching an Avlanche Awarenss course, along with a Field Day to put the training to practical use. The course will take place on February 7 at 6:30 p.m. at Tigert Middle School. A Field Day will be held the next day at 9:00 a.m., with a meeting site at the 8 mile parking lot. Course instructors will determine the best location for the field events on Friday night, as the conditions that affect avalanche danger are heavily affected by snowfall, temperature, precipitation, freezing and thawing, and many other factors. The field day should “give participants a unique opportunity to practice, hands-on, with the tools that may someday save theirs, and their buddies’ lives.”
The events are free, though participants will need to provide their own machines and gear for the field day.
Chamber Class
On February 12, CPA Erica Goode will be giving a presentation on “Preparing your small business for tax season” just in time for the annual task. The event, which is sponsored by the Soda Springs Chamber of Commerce, will be held at the Cobblestone Inn and Suites at 9:00 a.m. on the 12th. The event is free to Chamber members, and $10 for non-members. For more information, you can contact Debbie Dumont at 208-521-7024.
IDANHA Indoor seeks concession worker
At the Enterprise, we love movies. And it isn’t a movie without popcorn. The Idah-ha Indoor is currently looking for a part time concession worker to help bring those two things together. According to the Theatre, applicants MUST BE 16 YEARS OLD, work Wed through Sat nights. This is a great job for a High Schooler or someone looking for extra cash. In my own experience, it’s how I ended up seeing Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 roughly 8 million times in the 90s.
The schedule will involve Roughly 4 to 5 hours at night depending on the length of the movies, and Saturday hours are longer due to Matinees.
Pay starting at $8.00/hr. Those interested are encouraged to stop in and grab an application Wednesday through Saturday after 5:00 pm
