Club News
The Bike Kitchen
Posted on Aug 03, 2021
Our program was provided by Art Schwaller of the Bike Kitchen. We learned about the various ways that the Bike Kitchen supports our community as a non-profit organization. People are taught how to fix their own bikes by using the tools and resources at the Bike Kitchen. They also donate a substantial number of bikes to youth in our community and are always taking bike donations. Andrea Hamre will be making a proposal to our Club for supporting a new project that donates helmets to the Bike Kitchen. Thanks for the great idea, John Patterson!

Gallatin County Treatment Court
Posted on Jul 20, 2021
The Honorable Judge John Brown spoke to our Club about the history and current status of Gallatin County Treatment Court. We learned that Treatment Court relies heavily on evidence-based research regarding drug court best practices. Andrea Lower, Treatment Court Coordinator, provided Rotarians with brochures describing the timeline of Treatment Court, number of applicants, and graduation rates. It was inspiring to hear how they are working to change lives!

We're excited about all that our RYLA participants learned about leadership, Rotary, and all so much more during the 2021 RYLA conference.  Each year, Bozeman Noon Rotary Club sponsors a number of students to attend the conference.  Congratulations for selection this year!  We can't wait to see what comes next.
June 29, 2021 Lunchueon will be our annual GAVEL LUNCHEON, held at "The Springs" during our regular meeting time.
 
This luncheon, which will focus on the installation of the 2021-2022 Board and President Kristy Buckley, is also a chance to look back at the last Rotary Year and to eagerly look forward to what's in store for us in the 2021-2022 Rotary Year. A special guest will be Sandy Carlson, current District Governor who will help install Kristy. Plan now to attend!
Bozeman Noon Rotary Club remains one of the celebrated 'singing clubs', meaning we start meetings by joining together in fellowship through a wide variety of song. One to commit to memory is below. Join us at today's Gavel Luncheon to sing along!
 
"Montana" Lyrics
Tell me of that Treasure State
Story always new,
Tell of its beauties grand
And its hearts so true.
Mountains of sunset fire
The land I love the best
Let me grasp the hand of one
From out the golden West
CHORUS
Montana, Montana, Glory of the West
Of all the states from coast to coast, You're easily the best
Montana, Montana, Where skies are always blue
M-O-N-T-A-N-A, Montana I love you.
VERSE 2
Each country has its flow'r;
Each one plays a part,
Each bloom brings a longing hope
To some lonely heart.
Bitterroot to me is dear
Growing in my land
Sing then that glorious air
The one I understand.
