ISU's President Vailas Will Attend Boise Events

Boise -- The Idaho State University Alumni Association is hoping some of the more than 5,000 Treasure Valley alumni join them for events planned in Boise this summer.

The third annual "Grapes and Growls" wine tasting will be July 7, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Shakespeare Interpretive Center. Guests can taste wine, listen to music by Steve Eaton, and enjoy the hit comedy play, "Major Barbara."

Next up -- the Treasure Valley Picnic, at Municipal Park on Saturday, July 15, Noon - 4 p.m. Free drinks, burgers, chorizos, hot dogs, and a plethora of give away trinkets, and music by The Rockin’ Hippies are part of this annual event.

"Dr. Arthur Vailas, ISU’s new president will attend the picnic," said Belinda Isley, ISU public relations specialist. "It will be a perfect opportunity for area alumni to meet him."

Alumni, friends, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend. Make a reservation by calling 800-933-4781 or email: thomcas2@isu.edu.
