International Potluck Dinner, April 19, 6:00 PM

The international potluck is coming up on Sunday, April 19 at 6 PM at the community hall. If you would like, it would be great to bring some pictures of a travel adventure to share with everyone. Curtis will be sharing a presentation of what he learned about Greek and Roman history from our recent trip. We will have a laptop and projector. You can bring photos on your own computer or a memory card, or send them to me. Bring a family favorite or international dish to share. Please bring food items hot and ready to serve. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Clint Muhlfield to speak at NFLA meeting on June 11 at 7pm

June’s NFLA meeting will feature a presentation at 7:00pm by Clint Muhlfeld, the Fisheries Biologist with the USGS in Glacier Park. Clint has been heading up the work on preserving native west slope cutthroat and bull trout. His recent work has been in Quartz and Gunsight Lakes. (BONUS item from Clint: “Here is a story that came out in National Geographic last year that features our work on native trout in the North Fork. Thought folks may be interested in case they haven’t seen it.”

The general meeting starts at 8:00pm.

REMINDER: NFLA General Meeting & Food Bank Drive this Sunday!

Sondreson Hall by Gerry StearnsThe last NFLA general meeting of the year is this Sunday, October 9, at Sondreson Hall. Events start at 6:00pm with a presentation by Anthony Nelson, Director of the Glacier Institute. The membership meeting is at 7:00pm.

Bring a snack to share.

We will also be collecting non-perishable items for the Veterans Food Pantry!

And we could use a bit more firewood in the woodshed. The new stove uses 16-inch lengths or less, as opposed to the old stove that ate much longer logs. So we don’t have as much of the shorter stuff as we’d like.
