Google dominates the internet searching: 97% of all internet searches are through Google. More than half of the searches are local searches – buyers want something near them!

Suicide Prevention Class - American Legion Post 42
2024-01-20 09:00 - 12:00 | American Legion Club
Did you know that the state of Montana has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation, according to the statistics of the last several years? Did you know that in the US, veterans are dying of suicide at a rate of 18 per day? This statistic is down from 22 per day a decade ago. We, as citizens, need to intercede in order to save our friends and family from this fate.
If you would like to learn more about how to help those in your circle of friends, you may be interested to know that the Veterans Administration is providing a Suicide Prevention Class at the American Legion Post 42 in Townsend Mt.
The class is free and while some of it is geared for veterans, the majority of the class is general and applies to all. The class will be held on Saturday January 20, at 0900 at American Legion Post 42 in Townsend, MT. 211 Broadway St.
We are hoping that many of you will attend. We’ll have free coffee and donuts.

Childcare Community Meeting
2024-02-08 18:00 - 19:30 | The Lodge of Townsend, 131 S Spruce St, Townsend, MT, 59644, United States
You are invited to a community meeting focused on childcare on Thursday, February 8th at 6:00 pm at the Lodge of Townsend (131 S Spruce). We will be sharing the results of the recent community childcare survey as well as gathering more input to form an action plan to improve childcare capacity in our community. Local input is important and your participation makes a difference. No only is childcare a major issue that families face, it is directly linked to employee recruitment and retention for local businesses. This is an issue that takes a community effort to solve.
As a bonus, we are providing free dinner and childcare for the meeting. PLUS we are having a drawing for four gift cards to local businesses valued at over $100.
If you can’t attend the meeting, but are interested in being a part of the childcare effort in the community, we’d love to have you join us. We have a small community group that meets monthly as well as an email list with updates about the work we are doing. Please let me know if you’d like to be added to this group.
Thank you to those that contributed to the survey and providing guidance on how we can continue to make Broadwater County a better place to live. I hope to see you next week. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
