I have been involved with the Mai Wah museum for over 20years and couldn't be prouder of the progress this volunteer driven organization has made. Located in the heart of Uptown Butte at the center of the historic Chinatown, MWS owns the Wah Chong Tai Mercantile and the Mai Wah Noodle Parlor buildings both over a century old. Open during the summer, the displays include a nearly complete and original mercantile, a professionally designed display of Butte's Chinatown, Butte Chinese family histories and of course the buildings themselves. Please consider making a donation of any size...we do appreciate them!

Albert's Angel Fund is a well run non-profit that is run with great passion and love for the animals. They provide life changing and life saving medical care to animals that would other-wise be euthanized. They are such a necessity. Every single penny donated goes to the animals in need.

The World Museum of Mining is like taking a walk down a live history lesson. There is so much to explore and experience. I am amazed at the hard work and dedication the small staff and volunteers do just so all may experience life in a mining town. Every inch of it is a journey full of lives and stories waiting to unfold. It has drawn me in since my childhood. I am proud to serve on the board and have some part in preserving this most unique Museum.

I have two children enrolled as elementary students at SBM. It is a fantastic school with individualized lesson plans for each student. The curriculum is focused but not cookie-cutter -- the instructors recognize that not all kids learn the same way. It is small and somewhat non-traditional, but the environment promotes active learning both in the class room and through field trips. The elementary school has been on overnight trips to Glacier Park, Yellowstone Park, and Calgary, Alberta where we slept in the Calgary Zoo. Other expeditions include digging for fossils each year, Fall and Spring camp-outs (overnighting optional), visiting the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, and a ski program each winter. The school is very competitive in academic competitions as well, last year taking overall first place in the Montana Tech Science Fair and in the Battle of the Books (6th grade team) as well as several individual honors at the science fair, and competing in the county-wide spelling bee. My youngest was also in the Early Childhood program before entering the elementary program. This too is a wonderful program with emphasis on teaching kindergartners concepts in counting and phonics, encouraging reading prior to entering first grade. In many respects this is a one-room schoolhouse where the kids all pull together to achieve outstanding academic results. There is very little pettiness, almost no competition over wardrobe, and the kids all seem to watch out for each other.
