Leadership Missoula 29 is well into their year and its shaping out to be a great one!  Natural Resources was the theme for the class’ second session day.  The day was held at the Montana Natural History Center where the class learned about how to manage our forests with information about fish in our streams and the Milltown Dam project.  Presentations were given about the economic impact of local markets and purchasing local food and even had a bee keeper known as the ‘Bee Whisperer’ talk about the importance of bees as a natural resource.  LM 29 also had a chance to take a short tour of the Roseburg Forest Products Industry plant here in town. The class finished up the day with a social at Bayern Brewery.

In November, Leadership Missoula 29 was educated about Arts & Culture and its impact in our community.  The class heard from a variety of artists throughout the day including a poetry slam session from Big Sky High School students, a performance by one of the Drum Brothers, Michael Marsolek and a presentation from the famous Monte Dolack. LM 29 also took a tour of the Missoula Children’s Theater and saw ‘the behinds scenes’of this great organization.  In addition, they had the chance to ‘step out of the box’ and learn some country line dancing and improvisational theatre. The day concluded with a fun performance by Bits & Pieces. 

As usual – we couldn’t make this program the success it is without community sponsors and we appreciate all the generous businesses in Missoula that believe in this cause!
