Our speaker today (via Zoom videoconferencing) was Liann Meyers of MT Supporting Soldiers (https://mtsupportingmilitary.org/). Liann is highlighted in yellow in the meeting screenshot above. Liann described how teams of volunteers gather and mail care packages to U.S. soldiers deployed around the world. Recipients express great appreciation for the "small" items in life that we take for granted - healthy snack bars, socks, gift cards, boxer-briefs, toothbrushes, toothpicks, toothpaste, deodorants, small batteries and much more (see website.) Liann has been a driving force behind MTSS for several years.

District Governor, Sandy Carlson, was our speaker (by Zoom video conference) on Tuesday, October 27, 2020. Sandy spoke about Rotary International and District 5390 actions and events. She invited interaction and questions from members and is interested in learning more detail about Sunrise Rotary's Trivia Night Fundraisers (currently on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic health restrictions on group gatherings.) Thanks, Sandy!
Speakers today were Liane Taylor and Charlotte Snyder from the Helena area "Let Freedom Ring". Let Freedom Ring is a group of individuals who recently arranged for a community gathering on 80 acres in the Helena valley. The event's goal was to be a family friendly, non-partisan, non-political gathering focused on freedom in a time of great divisiveness. Funded by a multitude of donors, it featured musicians, food vendors and a fireworks show. Charlotte stressed that an additional goal was to give children and youth an opportunity to have fun in a safe setting, away from the stresses society is currently experiencing.

Judge James Reynolds continued his presentation on Treatment Court in Lewis and Clark County for our program on Tuesday, September 15, 2020. The program was so riveting that our photographer and story updater forgot to take a photo for the website. Darn! It was a great presentation and incredibly informative and interesting. Thank you Judge Reynolds and may you have a wonderful retirement!
Our speaker this coming Tuesday, September 15, 2020, will be District Court Judge Jim Reynolds with a continuation of his initial speaking engagement at our meeting on August 25, 2020.

As a result, he was asked to speak more about Drug Court in Lewis and Clark and Broadwater Counties and some of his observations about drug usage and its impact on the justice system (and society in general.)
