| Chamber of Commerce Monthly Newsletter In This Issue: A Note from our President, Brooke Leugers Our Community Calendar Lewis & Clark Motel, Highlight Member Three Forks Pharmacy, Highlighted Member Cowgirl Creativity, Highlighted Member 2019 Christmas Stroll Highlights Our Foundation Highlights Chewing on the Good News A Note from our new Executive Director View this email in your browser Hello Three Forks!As some of you may have noticed, a few key communication outlets have been missed in the absence of having an Executive Director. We are thrilled to have found Leandra Hill and hope you will all welcome her as she begins to reach out to all of you in the coming months. We have expanded our hours of operation and will have someone available to answer your emails and phone calls from Monday – Friday, 10 am to 4 pm.It’s a new year and with it comes new board members. I am pleased that Jeff Elliott with Three Forks Public Schools has been reelected and will continue working with our Civic & Economic Development Committee. I look forward to another two years with Jeff as one of our Board Directors. Karen Walton has grown within her organization which has taken her to Bozeman and was unable to fulfill her role as Vice President for her remaining year. Julia Caruana with Cowgirl Creativity has stepped up to finish the year as your new Vice President. Julia has a special talent in design and thinking outside the box, and therefore we feel she will be a strong asset on our Special Events Committee. Another new addition to the crew will be Dave Tudor with Tudor & Associates. I have no doubt that he will bring an acute attention to detail while serving on the Ambassador committee this coming year! Please join me in welcoming your new board members. Until next time. Brooke Leugers We are taking great steps to make sure that important events for our community are on our calendar on the Three Forks Chamber website.

| Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus had approximately 200 kids come to visit them at the Firehall this year!. All of the kids were so nice! The Clauses really enjoyed seeing them. The youngest visitor was only 2 weeks old and so precious!Kids were ready with their wish lists, and one young girl told Santa that all she wanted for Christmas was to spend every Christmas the rest of her life with her family!Who’s that loving these Gingerbread houses? Our very own Brooke Leugers. ~We can’t do it without you Three Forks~ Three Forks Physical Therapy won our downtown business decoration contest. FUN MONEY! Thank you for lighting Three Forks up. All of the kind donations of the decorated Christmas Trees & Wreaths helped us raise $207.50 for the Three Forks Fire Department. We had an amazing turnout and the most visitors ever! The Museum had 389 kids come in for their homemade stockings and there was a total of 774 people, including the kids, who came in that evening. One boy with food allergies was glad to receive a stocking that wasn’t just sweets – there was something he could actually eat! We have so very many people to thank: *Melissa Jenkins from the Three Forks Voice for all of these wonderful pictures. *Pat O’Brien Townsend, Gene Townsend and the Historical Society members volunteers. Thank you Mr. & Mrs Claus! *Our own chamber board, all of our community members who volunteered AND everyone who came to the stroll. Our Christmas Stroll was a magical night, a “loving gathering place, as well as a place to create new memories”. WHAT ABOUT OUR BINGO WINNERS? |

The Federated Women’s Club started it and Mrs. Margaret Haigh was the first librarian for over ten years! It wasn’t until 1963 that the community came together to create a new building. “Just plain folks” donated over $1500, Kanta Products, Three Forks Lumber, and Lane Construction contributed materials, machinery and labor, Ideal Cement donated their product, Peter Kiewit the gravel and Tom Fairhurst and his son did the wiring. Today, we need new chairs. Stop on by and donate a few bucks, or mail them a check. The library is still built by us and for us. By the way, did you know that the present day library location only happened in 2002? And how did they move all the books from the old library to the new one? Our community! ~Volunteers~ Check out our library! 607 Main St. Monday 10am – 5pm Tuesday 1pm – 8pm Wednesday 10am – 8pm Thursday & Friday 10am – 5pm Saturday 12pm – 4pm Three Forks Area Ambulance The Three Forks Area Ambulance was formed in 1991 and is an IRS 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.

This month’s story comes from Jozie Jorgensen. Friday, January 17th, Jozie was sitting at one of our local diners having lunch and going through a really rough time. She was eating alone and took a phone call from her boyfriend where she was sharing with him a little bit of her struggles.A kind soul must have overheard her conversation, because as she got up to pay and leave, her lunch had already been covered. Thank you, whoever you are… ~What a beautiful community we live in~ A Note from the New Director ~Leandra Hill~ Thank you for this incredible opportunity to assist our community and all of our chamber members in this journey in 2020, to successfully connect and grow our businesses. I want to personally reach out to each one of you, so expect a phone call soon! Understanding your business and how I can assist you in your goals is a priority to me. One of our goals as a board in 2020 will be to facilitate more connection with all of our community of all ages, and the amazing foundations and civic minded groups that we have here in Three Forks. Please feel free to email me or call with special events, sales or just to chat about your business and how we can help. -Leandra Hill “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” Ralph Waldo EmersonAmerican Poet Next Three Forks Chamber of Commerce Meeting Monday, February 10th, 2020 @ 12 Noon. At the Three Forks Library All Members Welcome! |
