Hometown Helena this Thursday, August 10th: YWCA Helena

August 8, 2023 Greetings Everyone, Are these the ‘Dog Days of Summer? Now that the community wide celebrations, festivals, concerts, rodeos, camping trips, BBQs, vacations and other assorted parties are about over it’s time to look ahead to autumn, the start of school, and the return to the routines of our lives. There is nothing quite like summer in Montana, and we’ve had a good one this year.  I don’t think anyone has been busier this summer than Matt Elsaesser and the team at 406 Recycling. They have provided recycling services at events all over this part of the state: Symphony Under the Stars, Red Ants Pants, several events in Big Sky to name a few. One of these weeks, maybe Matt can fill us in on the amount of waste 406 Recycling has handled the last few months. I think we’d be amazed.  These 'Dog Days’ have created some kind of writer’s block in me as well. I simply do not have a lot to say this week. We have Jen Gurskey, Executive Director of the Helena YWCA, joining us this week. It’s always great to hear from Jen, and to learn more about the good work being done at the YWCA. Sure appreciate these people. We have some very interesting programs lined up for the Fall. More about that in the weeks to come.  Meanwhile, hope to see you Thursday. Either in person on the 6th floor of the Montana Club, or via the miracle of zoom (Thanks again to Aja Rail and Pinion Global). Jim Smith 406-949-1002

We ask each person for a five dollar ($5) donation each week. Cash is nice. There is also a Venmo option. Your donation pays for the coffee, tea, etc. Also, for the linens, the electricity, etc. It pays for our lovely venue, the Montana Club. We’ve all watched beautiful sunrises from the sixth floor on Thursday mornings. Let’s keep faith with the Club and support it with our weekly $5 donation. Click to Donate
