For Immediate Release
The Rotary Club of Helena invites new and existing members to join us for lunch every Wednesday at noon in our new meeting location at Downstairs at the Brewhouse, 939 Getchell St. Our first meeting at the Brewhouse will be February 5th.
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad. Our motto is “Service Above Self.”
For over one-hundred years, the Rotary Club of Helena has led service projects for our community. Some of their current projects include maintaining a cabin at the YMCA Camp Child, supporting the robotics and after-school programs at Exploration Works, providing resources to children and classrooms in Helena area public schools, and (new this spring) has proposed and working to build an ADA compliant trail on Mount Helena. We also offer an annual scholarship to college-bound high students from our community. At meetings, members share news about completed and upcoming service opportunities and each week features a new and interesting speaker.
For more information, join us for lunch any Wednesday at noon at Downstairs at the Brew House or contact Brett Clark, Club President: (406) 457-2044 or Rex Walsh, Membership Chair: (406)4 31-6484 rexwalsh2018@gmail.com.

Danielle Godlevsky is the Program Coordinator of the Foster Grandparent Program run through the Rocky Mountain Development Council. The program pairs seniors aged 55 and up with preschools, elementary schools, Head Start classrooms, and other educational settings for children. Foster Grandparents in the program provide academic support and guidance to children in Helena and around the state. Qualifying volunteers also receive a stipend for their time. 
We had the privilege of hosting our District Governor Joe McBride on January 24. Joe is a Butte native who returned to his hometown six years ago after living in the Midwest for about 25 years. 
The Montana Volunteers are a group of supporters of the Portland Thorns and Portland Timbers from across Montana. While the group hosts watch parties for the Timbers and Thorns around the state, founder Kris Goss detailed for Helena Rotary the various community support projects that the Montana Volunteers have organized in the three years since the group's founding.
