President's Corner

 
We are hoping to boost our membership by placing posters around the valley. I'm looking for volunteers from Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Bigfork to place these posters at libraries, book stores, coffee houses, cafes, small grocery stores, laundromats, etc. Interested? Let me know.
