Since February of 1978, Assistance Guild of Boise has also undertaken the management of the ADA COUNIY HEARING AID BANK FOR SENIOR CITIZENS.

Assistance Guild of Boise is a non-profit, philanthropic organization
dedicated to helping those within their immediate community to
a better, more meaningful life through volunteer services. The Boise
Guild was established in the fall of 1976. It is a Guild of National
Assistance League, which has 62 Chapters and 8 Guilds at present
throughout the United States. There is no age limitation for membership
which is always by invitation.
As a chapter prerequisite, Assistance Guild of Boise, must
achninister and control at least one philanthropic endeavor in which
its volunteer members actively partidpate. "OPERATION CAN YOU
HEAR ME?" is the philanthropic project whereby the incoming
Kindergarten children in the Boise Public Schools are screened for
hearing defects. Since February of 1978, Assistance Guild of Boise
has also undertaken the management of the ADA COUNIY
HEARING AID BANK FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. The purpose of
the Hearing Aid Bank is to provide used and/ or reconditioned
hearing aids to individuals who could benefit from amplification, but
are unable to purchase a new appliance. Used hearing aids may be
donated to the Ada County Hearing Aid Bank. For more information
on the Hearing Aid Bank contact 344-7610 on Wednesdays

"What, When And Where?"
'WHAT, Wi-lEN AND WHERE?" is a guide booklet, sponsored
by Assistance Guild of Boise, and is primarily designed for those
persons living around the Boise vicinity. Information is contained in
the booklet, however, concerning many of the services rendered by
the State of Idaho. The Parks and Recreation, Cultural, Historical,
Scientific and Scenic Wonders, and Tours for Groups Sections
include extensive information about other parts of Idaho.
Hopefully this guide booklet will spark a sense of curiosity about
Boise, the nearby surroundings and the State of Idaho. It should
make people aware of the many outdoor opportunities that our
locality offers. "WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE?" shout~ have
answers for the individual or familv that asks, "What can we see and
do? When does the event take place? Where shall we go today?"
The information is as accurate as careful checking and editing
made possible at the time of publication. Periodically, Assistance
Guild of Boise would like to up-date the guide booklet with
additional supplemental information in a separate booklet.
