Goat Chase!!!
Every year on the second weekend of June we combine our annual meeting with a great weekend of boating, eating, dancing and sharing stories at The Flathead Lake United Methodist Church Camp on the shores of Flathead Lake.

Who are we?
We are an NPCA affiliated group representing much of Montana. The majority of our members come from Missoula and the surrounding area, but we have members from all over the state and substantial numbers in Helena, Kalispell and Great Falls. The group in Missoula meets once a month for potlucks and general meetings. We also have a close relationship with the Peace Corps Recruiter on the U of M campus. We help out with information tables and discussions with prospective volunteers as well as host a potluck in the spring for the newly nominated volunteers. The NOM party. Members of our group also host an annual Halloween party and a Christmas party, which have become somewhat of a tradition.
Our major annual fund-raising event is the selling of the Wisconsin Group's International calendars. From the sales of these calendars we support many local food banks, soup kitchens and like organizations. We also have the ability to fund numerous overseas projects with these funds. Quite often the programs are ones that current volunteers who we know are managing. Everyone from throughout the State gathers for the annual meeting and "Goat Chase Retreat" on the shore of Flathead Lake, the second weekend of June.
