Who we Are
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.
