Our meetings are held at the First Christian Church, 2701 South Russell Street, in Missoula, and begin at 7:00 PM. The church is located on the west side of Russell Street, across from the Fairgrounds.
Our business meeting is held on the second Thursday of the month.
The fourth Thursday is our social meeting, which often includes a presentation or a speaker. The subjects vary and may be educational or entertaining.
A silent auction is held during our meetings. This is a great chance for members to find new treasures.
