For the sixteenth year, the Bozeman Rotary Clubs will sell envelopes at $7.50 each, and then ride them over Bozeman Pass on October 13 to meet the Livingston Rotary Club for a horseback picnic. At the Pass the clubs will exchange mail bags so the mail will have been delivered by Rotary Express.

 
In recent years the $10,000 funds raised have been equally divided between the three middle schools in Bozeman and Livingston, to provide funds for kids-at-risk: kids that cannot afford a field trip, new glasses, a replacement for a stolen bike, sneakers for basketball teams. The principals of each school receive the checks around Thanksgiving time and give stories about how these funds help their young students, who often have nowhere else to turn. There is often not a dry eye in the place.

So, ride with us on Oct. 13, or at least buy an envelope or two, best deal is three for $20, which even works out to 15 for $100! Or join us for a hamburger and brownies at Bozeman Pass around noon. As our Ballad of Rotary Express goes:

"you won't forget it...and the kids will remember our Rotary Clubs when they needed us most!"
