TRIATHLON IS CORRECTLY SPELLED WITH JUST ONE A.
True story, in my forty years, including several helping organize and hold MTCC’S fundraiser triathlon, it wasn’t until I had to type the word that I learned it wasn’t spelled “Triathalon.” I guess by that logic, they would also need to be called “Athaletes” … Anyhow, no spelling bees in my immediate future. So, this weekend, Western Montana hosts a couple of events I’d like you to consider either registering for, or supporting as a volunteer: those races are The Garden City Triathlon and the Montana Mucker. This Saturday, September 6th marks the 28th season that Western Montana will have hosted…

These inspring folks come from here in Montana, nearby and as far away as Louisiana to seek innovative solutions to poverty problems. The VISTA program is unique in the family of National Service programs because of its explicit charge to move Americans out of of poverty. I like to call it a “older cousin” to AmeriCorps, even though it’s officially known as AmeriCorps VISTA now. MTCC’s VISTA program engages higher education in this important antipoverty work….
